Poetry — thoughts knock on doors and climb in through windows

Buildings full of thoughts

Line avenues in my mind

The thoughts knock on doors

And climb in through windows

Growing like vines on a blank wall

Slithering and green

Glistening in the early morning sun

They light sparks in the fireplaces

Waiting to warm me up

Or crisp me up into charcoal

Thoughts stir up dust puffs

As their footpads fall on wooden floors

Little rhythms peppering my mind

Like an ongoing tempo of words

Rumbling in the foundation of my consciousness

And reminding me that there is a river of words inside me

At all times
