Last night
there was a poem
in my head
curled and laid,
thinking about the day
rolling around my bed
“Enough of rhyme”
this poem said;
think new ways
choose new words to say.
Awesome and tiresome -
closer than you think
the poem said
and last night
that omen
turning in my heart,
felt like
prey catching pray,
all bowed beneath
an old moon calling.
“Come now threads of sleep -
for I am caught”
the fleeing poem said.

The mind
cannot be fully aware
unless it thinks about awareness
but what it learns when thinking this
alters the very way it perceives itself.
Therefore, I must conclude.
We are fools to think
we can ever be
fully aware.
