Thoughts flickering like candles
In tempest dawn, monsoon morning
Rising stiffly; prescription pills
And thoughts flickering, running
Down empty lanes of lunacy;
Searching?
Unfounded lies listening?
Silence, as long as silenceโฆ
There is peace!
Silent mysteries? & thoughts
Listening. Shhhhhh!
I light another pipe,
Another nocturnal pondering
On the unwavering winds
Of change, and on thoughts
Flickering.
