the key to my heart
misplaced, now it is locked tight
with me stuck inside
the key to my heart
misplaced, now it is locked tight
with me stuck inside
You stare at the mantelpiece. "Man, that's an ugly figurine."
"I know." I sigh. "A house warming present."
"Really? It looks kind of dated."
"Not *this* house. We've had it for thirty years, in seven homes."
"Ah. You're secretly fond of it."
I chuckle, not wanting to admit the truth. Although I try to #misplace it each time we move, it always reappears in the first box I unpack.
The universe disappears,
Day too bright,
Sky too blue
For any other colours.
The moon has misplaced its stars.
The cosmos is disfigured
On days like these,
When the wind freezes
On exposed skin
And thinking.
Blue hands,
Unread books,
Unproven theorems.
Quantum.

… The air by the apple trees was redolent of #cider. When the #ground under her feet brought back #tact, she realised she had #misplace|d the matter. It didn't belong in the head. Only the heart could heal it.

Mr. Butters looks
askance and my heart flutters
