i was unable to sleep last night
everything was too loud
clocks ticked
fans whirred
these noises were
amplified
by the night
though the noises were pounding
loud
obnoxious
they weren't loud enough
to quieten the thoughts in my head.
they spun
dancers are beautiful by themselves
but together
with no obvious rhythm
and with so many
they crash
bump
and disturb
the dancers surrounding them
they spun uncontrollably fast
chaos playing their part too
only stopping a short time to catch their breath
hours later they begin to tire
become stif and jerky in their movements
a wind begins to blow
softly and swiftly moving past the dancers
with a sudden serge of power
it speeds up
whips around
the dancers get carried along with it
turning and swirling faster and faster
their rough grace returns
the dancers spin away faster with the wind on their back
whirring like little spin tops
in and around each other
in no time
a wind storm has been created
powerful and ruthless
destroying everything
but those dancing
thoughts
