out of control

world-spin
stars heavens planets
incomprehensibly big
spin bird
hovering quietly around tropical flowers
head spin
too many thoughts
screws tightening
week-end migraine
invasions of familiar distractions
pain and desire
uncomprehensibly big
dreams spinning out of control
fantasies never acted
an angel hovering in the heavens
spinning quickly out of my reach
waiting to satisfy my longings
those I ignore too frequently
spinning tops - children's toys
unlike balancing slinkies
which watch the justice of time going by
adult versions in precious woods
cut from where the hummingbird hovers
drinking thirty-six times per day
the lungs of the planet cry matricide
children of the earth
their tops continue to spin
accelerating until the darkness of the night
hides the flowers
hides everything familiar
until, convinced of no other choice
we relent and tarry
forgotten desire to discover
abandonned desire to find happiness
while the heavens spin outside of human moderation
grasp what you can find
spin life into a fragile web where everything seems safe
answers come to those practicing patience
stupid aphorism
spin words out of control
