Settling

I have no time for thoughts

Much less time for dreams

Yet when my mind slips to sleep

I keep imagining you

Choking me

Then Shaping your phrases

So we agree

You’re always so calm

I want to see you catastrophic

I'm a black woman, a classically trained oboist, a self-taught composer, and an introspective poet trying to comprehend my thoughts.
