the general tiredness of
being
of the self, the
consummation
of the nerve of the
blazing mind
like a prairie on fire
on constant fire
constant wakefulness
like a self-imposed hunger
to keep the mind sharp
a window wide open
to stay awake at the wheel
umpteenth cup of black
coffee
watching the blaze advance
from the porch
never quite the repose
tense vigil of the senses
nose in the air to detect
wind changes
the body carries on,
fragile equipoise
on the tip of conscience
incessant tinnitus
like an anthill or a
beehive
or a prairie fire
thoughts in motion
synced with the pendulum
of the arms
pulling back before the
torched ground
the flames unchecked
keeping awake night and
day
the roar, the roar above
every sound
controlled habit of running away
organised chaos of leaving
everything behind
flammable possessions at
the mercy of the inferno
pictures, books, writings
all left behind to be
burnt
necessary sacrifice to
preserve
the crystallised legacy of
the instant
thoughts after thoughts
after thoughts
my mind like a prairie on
fire
on constant fire
