Thoughts
All the thoughts in all the spaces locked inside in my head,
Wrap each one in bubble wrap, and put them all to bed,
Spare me time enough to be, this audience of one,
To racing thoughts, my monologue, all the noise be gone.
Distraction quietens the fractious mind,
The brief reprieve, thoughts forgotten, left behind,
But in silence rumination screams,
Infects my day, my night, my dreams.
