Thought Soaked Fingers

taking trips around
my gene pool
finding more things hidden
in each ripple
I listen as my pen stutters
while I lean on things I don't understand

wrist ache scratching out names
and memories
so I just leave them in the sun
to burn
letting the light bleach scarlet off-pink

can't leap
I'm already three feet off the ground
can't wipe away
the face of the rushing river
I'm overwhelmed looking at it's consistency

silence
a ravenous place
where thoughts leave my mind
and soak my fingers
only to return me again
to itself
