Mental Distraction

I bide my time with a rolled up magazine:
when the sunlight's lure gazes upon the pane
one successful whack
will crush my distraction.
There comes that trail of red
when the corpse pushes down the glass,
and a secret twinge inside the stomach.
Traces of distractions were dried and vast
And the casual devastation demanded
one's most human reflection:
I ought to clean my windows more often.

I love poetry like this.. Every day poetry. The meaning of such small things. How the meaningless is still worth noting.

I think Emily Dickinson does

I think Emily Dickinson does that kind of poetry exceptionally well. I'm really glad you liked this, even though I don't consider it as one of my strongest efforts. It was just a meditation I scribbled down one day. Thanks, my friend. :)
