Freeze the FramesA Poem by Amanda AvalonA very abstract yet true-to-life free-write piece.This tightrope stalk, my walk reverts from straight Falling off just to get back on again What do horses have to jump onto once they’ve crashed to the ground? Weaving underlapping braids take Sunday hostage Heart freezing heavy weights and limbs turn to grey Hair fashioned into a replica of your girl previous What a perfect tune to add to the score Curvatured spines, don’t they tell you To do lots of things ladies must but no longer One panoramic walk around and I’ve lost you Certainly for certain, ceased all prospects of tagging and branding It With your call I’ll consider a decision I can’t believe I’m taking their year-old advice after all We are in undeterminable limbo of determinable matters Stomach aching plans of companionship, long servile drives up north All in all a barely breathing set of lungs gasping and sputtering We can be friends if one of us tries Let’s get something going that has the blood pumping, juices will flow That uncovers shades, exhibtioning inner cores like apples Teacher, told her Read the Premonition Book but didn’t mention where to get it Tunneled home in the back of that downtown sardined bus He warns, “It may hurt your feelings.” Upper, downer Jupiter makes the call A computer Better suits her If you’re with me, I’m with you all the way Whatever made these nights more tolerable than day? Take my hand and swipe away the workings inside that cross dark wires Replacement with light, all that’s needed to conjure up She doesn’t have to have eyes to know that someone’s standing right there To help your heal, seal the deal If it comes undone it breaks apart I bid you well In some cases I have to run it and gun it until there’s no more left
