A small
cat jumping across my skull
Inside
and around it
A Catherine
wheel on the brink of
Petering
Out
Filter
malfunctioning
The tap
fully open
Ideas
cascading out into
The dead
night
Air
I do
not try to stop them
Get them
out, I say
I am
unburdened now
And ignorant
and playful
Only the
kitten remains
Pawing
at its ball of string.
