DrivingA Poem by nikki sicki
I was driving driving to somewhere and I forgot
and I started to think about what in my life I sought Out Out imaged my body in the earth bubbles traveling up-word to make holes in me so roots can find me and take hold of me inside of me Organs rot into food for the flowers my hands were flower pots Did I miss something? Did I forget something? In a flash a minute a day or a year what if I wasn't here I'd leave things untold that should have been said I'd leave unfinished wishes and dreams that should have Run Run Ran ran ran out of mind turn around started to find my way home got there unraveled it all Sister, I'm sorry I told you you eat way to loud Moma that sweater with cats and yarn and bells is not so ridiculous Dad I love you no matter how much I don't see you Roots might find me and take hold of me Inside of me Inside of You? Were you driving to somewhere and forgot think about what in your life you sought? Out? Out imagine your body in the earth are you ready to let the roots in meteorite hit the earth run run run ran out © 2013 nikki sicki |
