I'm Having Trouble Sleeping.

I'm Having Trouble Sleeping.

A Poem by Cole Hayley
"

"we evolved in a series of accidents." I think that I think to much.

"
  • I kept quiet for the most part. 
    My blood-less eyes stapled unto
    the nearest tree trunk
    and my spine knotted like a shoelace.

    I kept quiet for the most part, 
    until I manage to pick out your face. 
    Pulsing out from the mid-day buzz
    the inhered noise of city-space

    Ballons were tied tigtly around your ankels, 
    you said I was the only thing keeping you down.

    "Lets make a reservaiton!" I had scremed.
    "The coffee shop on second street
    The palace on third street
    and if theres a forth, we will reserve a seat!"

    You smiled, the same way you did
    day in and day out. Crossing your fingers
    and putting one hand over the other.

    I love that line- spine knotted like a shoelace! Superb! Balloons were tied tightly around your ankles, you said I was the only thing keeping you down-love hat imagery and metaphor!

    My blood-less eyes stapled unto
    the nearest tree trunk
    ME: *holds stomach from getting sick* geez...

    and my spine knotted like a shoelace.
    ME: Oh my-

    You know that feeling when you hear something or see something torturing with the body you then later are careful with it? Yeeeeeeeeeeeah, me right there...I'm not moving my spine lol but overall interesting poem. New, but still quite lovely :D

    sounds like waking dreams of you accosting a familiar face with whom this is the first time you're speaking.
