Tornados In My Mind I sleep in the womb of my tornado It is so quiet, I hear nothing Spinning all about me Childhood friends, family images Women I loved and adored Women I loved and despised Its a maddening kaleidoscope I see with my eyes Yet, the only sound I hear Inhale Exhale Breathe I look to the sky Through the superfluous garbage I float through the uterus My umbilical cord intact This tornado is mine She protects only me I await the birthing And clearly, I can see Yet, the only sound I hear Inhale Exhale Breathe Get the forceps Extract me please There must be more sound I need a freight train rolling I only see funnels Touching the ground My thoughts I’m beginning to fear My actions chaotic, confused Yet, the only sound I clearly hear Inhale Exhale Breathe My cosmic brain Conflicts with my mind I need the drugs I cannot find Prepare the blade A guillotine in view Is that for me Or is it for you? Still the only sound I clearly hear Inhale Exhale Breathe I pray this nightmare Must come to an end My brain is damaged My body growing thin Thank you for waking me My life must go on I’ll look at your photograph Listen to your song I can clearly hear you now You say you must leave Inhale Exhale Please help me breathe |
