Wave and other poems

In this Semiconscious State

I don't really have a feather bed but it sounded cool. I'm thinking of taking my Diamonds are as Good as Glass poem and putting it with other poems along the same line and maybe a few short stories.

In this semiconscious state

I lie down on my feather bed

Behind my halfway closing eyes

Ideas and words run fluid.

Fluid like water in this state

My bed becomes a pool

Drowning in words

Dragged down my ideas

I fish for a line of connection

The silver thread shimmers

It glimmers

It winks

I heave myself up and I grasp it

With pencil and pen

And then again

I fall back down and I wait.

In this semiconscious state

Ideas whisper

Ideas wait

Drowning in words

Dragged down by ideas

All fluid

All shifting

My bed becomes a raft
