Untitled/Frog Thoughts

Joshua Kirschenbaum he/him
2017

In the breeze the 
Lily pads  
In the center of my skull 
Bob up and down  
Trodden on by thoughts  
Each the weight of a small pond frog  

But without enough lily pads to hop down my  
Spine 
And out my fingers 
The little amphibious 
Creatures 
Sit down 

And rest 

Not to be disturbed until 
Morning  

I think I’ll join them.
