Scared Turtle

I'm a silhouette that you'll forget-a shadow in dark. I'm a mili sec-a part of deck that's shuffled with the cards. I'm a Bodhicitta heart-like a monk upon the ledge. And i'm trying to do my part before departing from the edge. A reflection of redemption-there's a "henchman" in my head. A collection of some peanut shells I want to get ahead. A cloud to ease my comfort-as my pillow and my bed. As I drift into the "netherworld" suspended like the dead.

I'm a turtle in a shell-scared to poke out in the world. I'm an empty piece of necklace string that had to add a pearl. Didn't listen to referrals-cause i'm hiding in my dome. Insulated with my poems-covered with some astro-foam.

I'm a monk without a teacher-silence can't be left alone. Want to watch a "silent feature" interrupted by a phone. Thoughts that could be still but only turn to violent zones. You only own your home-until they turn to catacombs.

I'm an "after thought" from elder- and a welder of this wall. Taking refuge in my shelter-as I sprawl against cabal. This art is dying out-like the death of shopping malls. My word like a cannonball- i'm short but standing tall. I'm a mouth inside a circle-sewing to the different tunes. And I'm scared of jumping hurdles, fear of the impeding doom. Crescent moon- i see you loom in the deserts of the dune. If i die upon this land-you know i'll be back very soon.


I'm a coward in this hour-pull a flower from the dirt. Switching many faces even though i introvert. Splash me with cold water-so that i could be alert. Cause these colored frames will turn to grey-my soul will just convert. I'm a bat inside a cave to wave at sun-to say goodbye. Never rat to pay my way-relay what's said-so open wide. My spirits sink like submarines-submerged to just subside. Down is the upside-to find solutions for our kind.


I'm a question mark without an answer-living equals what? Scratching tickets for the win, or spin the wheel to press your luck. Still climbing up the mountain-hoping for a better view. Feeling rocks that drop on top of head-upsetting my pursuit.

I'm a turtle shell-and i'm scared as hell(10x's)
