sometimes there is poetry/in my veins

sometimes there is poetry

in my veins in

my sweat

my head throbs with voice

wordless

byzantine-sweet and vinegar-urgent

 

and sometimes 

my heart goes tepid and staticy

beating out of rhythm listless

the gusting

of wind against

the creaking house the words

stutter and stagger drunk across

the pages

 

and

 

sometimes silence-sparks

like fireworks 

behind closedeyes

 

but 

listening is best

of all
