Mind's Rapping Gavel

Mind's Rapping Gavel

A Poem by Onoma

This poem has already been peer-reviewed
by nothingness...the mind's rapping gavel...
order in its courtroom has been silenced.
A bird overtakes that space where its
flapping wings will make noise, or not--
the mind thinks itself subtle in its death throes.
Pfff...word...pfff...pfff...words--the Light of
consciousness is on...who's home should
acknowledge an interchangeable residence.

a wonderfully descriptive piece of work here...I often feel that my mind is on trial and I also sometimes believe that although I am perfectly coherent, there is no-one at home

Ah, so that implement is a 'gavel'. The poem swivels a harsh prison spotlight back on itself and on its writer. And most effectively leaves the reader cataloging the empty room in his own skull.
Excellent work.

The interchangeable residence of that light is always overjoyed when you appear.
