How do you feel?

 

Like a confetti of flesh 

and muscle in a haphazard heap –

 

not as lean as I would like.

 

What is your state of mind?

 

My mind is a papery wasp’s nest.

My thoughts white larvae –

 

present, but dormant

and malleable.

 

Lacking the wings

which would enable

 

them to fly from the nest.

 

~ Previously published in Ibbetson Street (May 2006) and Flutter (September 2006)
