This spinning

by Paganini Jones



replete
gazing at the ceiling
torpid
the sky dances
fizzing
is that your face or mine?
in a blank square cavern
blackness
soft as eggs
or fur
or mist on a Sunday morning

spinning
we merge and flow.

elongation
of the senses
not scientific
always known

Author's Note: No, to those wondering, I was not on anything. But sometimes you just have to let the brain hang loose and see what it offers. For those wondering about the brain hanging loose as a poetic tool, read Enid Blyton's Mystery books :)

I really enjoyed this; full of lots of neat word combos. You'll have to let your brain hang loose more often, and come to think of it, so should I. :o)

this spins as wonderfully as that top of yore in my youth. oh how it spun and as far as brains hanging loose the brain, I am all for it. a brain cannot be hung loose enough. no need for bolt and nuts and anchors which would make us or at least our brains seem all the more Frankensteinian.
