I Can't Think

MY MIND
has jumped the cliff
grown stiff
off the edge
of a ledge from
a broken wedge
it breaks to leave
off the leash it won't listen
hence joy fails to glisten
and regrets to compromise
so here I lie.
I call for hire
to which I desire
to douse the fire
our minds acquire
from the abundant pile of brainless life
in the endless sea of tears we cry
on the shore of sweet need
I thirst for water I can breathe
instead the sea beats the brink and
I can't think.
