the window stands
by wind-clattering mirror
moments that never include paper
i lift brick pencil
with worn-out eraser
thinking of obstacles
busy street
still words
a simple face
settled with memories
in the city
poets stand
on street corners, tall
dreaming of undreamed magic
whilst pens take up the whole sidewalk
invisible they are
scribbling on mind’s written pavements

Wonderfully articulated. ‘mind’s written pavements’ ; ‘simple face settled with memories’ : my fave lines.

Thanks. If my head didn’t hurt so much this morning, I’d write a poem about a migraine. Lol… Thanks for stopping by.
Ich on the migraine. I don’t get them but my wife does…so I kind of understand…from the outside.
Love this piece. Love the sibilance running through it.
As soon as I arrived at work, it disappeared. ๐

I really enjoyed your poem. I particularly liked
“while pens take up the whole sidewalk
invisible they are
scribbling on mindโs written pavements”
For me, it sort of perfectly described writing and how it becomes so important.
