meditations: 43 days (hang on JD)


short time now six weeks
one and a half months
how dare I act so selfishly
to wonder where the day went
too quick
spin the pen
breathe in breathe out
realizing both feet are now asleep
beneath me spin the pen still
where will we all end up
as the eleven train pulls in
on time
short time since
eyes laid on the brother
from another mother
still bond is tight
like dreadlocks wore
heavy in the summer
that was then
meditating on when we wondered
what today would look like
when we were younger
much older than that now
later on meditation will turn into
a mindfully restful sleep
then like a clock the birds tune
will be back by the window
frozen in time
and trapped for eleven days
without peaceful rest
everyday now heading uphill
meditation now on the struggle
spin the pen
sit back down and rest head
on the back of left hand
keep it from lighting the fire
of a bad habit one that needs
to be dropped like the jaw to the surprise
hearing of such misfortune
frozen in time
shocked as the fan spins above
and the pen in hand
trying hard to imagine
and remove the pain
for one day at least
six weeks is entirely too short
not enough time
to learn what's to be done next
not even enough time to say
it is frozen in time
meditation on the troubles endured
without another thought
spin the pen...
