not the norm


the wind is howling
round the door,
i'm face first
down on the floor.
the trees are wild,
the light is gone,
the moon is big,
nowhere the dawn.
if i live til morn
i wonder why,
i arch my back,
and touch the sky.

zombies-gotta love 'em.

  1. I don't think any of us is "normal" - what is to be normal? who defines what to be normal really is? I really love this kind of pondering without conclusive answers...

    Love your poem, it is dark, profound, and a big gulp of breath.

    Thanks for the Zombies song, me and my children enjoyed listening to it!

  4. As you've been posting pretty regularly, I'm not entirely sure where you're back from, but I liked the poem.
