Vortices of Thought


The edges of thought have spun.

Vertiginous, I awaken torpidly

in the curling of thought.

With I in its vortex,

circulated around its core

so fast that I barely exist

like fans spinning

at the speed of stillness.

Rolling in slow motion

across the bed, my body’s

barely able to coordinate itself

through the swirling I, tossed

in the currents of thoughts unfurling.

The velocity increases and

gradually becoming lucid,

the perfect centre draws me

into a sunken memory of

the sleeping nights return.
