Poetic Thoughts - 4 untitled poems - by C.W. Pruitt II

posted: Feb. 19, 2010

I wrote these 4 untitled poems from my couch at Carriage House Glendale on September 1, 2007:

shook to the core

then shaken

once more

the aftershock

not as severe

but keeps

the message clear

of love, destruction, and such

the shaking matters much

to immediate

and ultimate

effect

we grow grow grow

then cease to grow

this is death

i would like to

visit the periphery

while staying centered

(the sane mystic)

i would like to be

like Rumi

without the drinking

without the spinning

the process of waking up

involves working thru grogginess

with the help of a cup of jo.

the creakiness of bones

walking across a creaky floor.

slo-mo haze film clears

slowly after a night of

dreaming or nightmaring.

the new day

brings a new brain.
