hula hoop hunter

Oh, how could I have been so careless with time?

Trying to catch hummingbirds with a hula-hoop.

 

All the un-watered whims,

planted in subconscious deep;

inside great empty tiger cages

that capture only the echoes,

and photographic negatives of dreams.

 

With a knapsack chock full of stars,

and clouds, fully reviewed then abandoned

at random. I have been spinning separate

from the world; wearing time capriciously

on my wrist, fully reviewed then abandoned at random.

 

Maybe only clocks are careful with time . . .
