The Telling Itself

Thoughts Meander Like A Restless Wind Tumbling Blindly As They Make Their Way Across The Universe

SAFETY BEHAVIOUR 

The thoughts, I’ve been told, to put somewhere else.

So I put them on the roof. I put them in a box
and post them. I put them in shoes I never wear.
I split them up from each other and put each one inside
a stranger’s pocket, to be taken home and washed so
the thoughts drown in several different washing machines.
I put them on the wing of an aeroplane. Inside a hollow
bit of wall. I tie them to balloons and they fly off.
I put them in the ocean and they swim away. I hold
them over a candle and they evaporate. I hide,
no, bake them, inside an enormous, delicious cake,
seven tiers high, and I give a piece of it to everyone.
