Collapse

I had so many poems in my head 
Last night - each word, each touch 
Sparked my mind: it was daunting 
To stay still -  I wanted pen and 
Paper, type writer, anything so I 
Could let my words escape then 
I stopped trying to keep the spark 
And let them spin in my head until 
Each dissolved. And with my head 
On your shoulder, on your lap I 
Could only hope you heard them
