Under the ribs

by Amber   Jul 11, 2006


Under the ribs where pulses thud,
the silver silence of dreams die,
screeching and screaming at the top of their lungs,
being torched like popcorn in a microwave.
The future is a sailor lost at sea.
In a storm,
wrestling the musty waves.

A stampede of elephants trampling your thoughts,
choices zoom at you in every direction.
Like a flock of basketballs to the hoop,
and frolicking butterflies flopping in the pit of your stomach.
