i took a walk
across the plains
that scattered thoughts from branch to branch
all across the sky
i let them float around my head
outside my body
outside my control
the breeze picked them up
sent them dancing away
like clouds gently pushed
gently encouraged
gently
happily
away
i closed my eyes
leaned against the bark of a monstrous being
that carried my thoughts away in the wind
away into nothing
away into everything
away from me
