Venting the Capital
Mid-sentence, I pause, trying to recreate a spark
a current, some flow of remembrance
in the electricity of thought, but fail.
The infinite importance of the idea
suddenly shredded in short circuit synapse.
Like a breath, an exhalation escaping
my humid currents in a whisper, a moan, a sigh
each inane word slithers from me in confusion.
A vaporous haze settles over me, clouding me
as I gray into complete incoherence.
All illusion aside, I stand alone, voiceless
pondering my choices, dare I continue
as crystalline nothingness vents to airless void
or search the circuitry of my memory
to seize the last jolt of thought and speak.

tarablackwood22almost 20 years ago...nice effort by a poet who is new to me. There is a lot here, handled with fine language, and this offers a promise of more quality verse to come.
twelveoonealmost 20 years agoI liked the way the poem goes from "electricity of thought" to a "vaporous haze", and is brought back by "crystalline nothingness" to a "jolt of thought". Nice trip.
BTW: I don't believe I've ever seen the word combination before: "crystalline nothingness"
This takes two tired old words and makes something fresh and new, and serves you well in the transistion point.
Congrats.
