Even when you close your eyes
the chatter doesn’t stop
tap, tap, tapping on your shoulders
incessant chanting in your ears...
When escape is not possible
build a nest, and nourish fresh thoughts
while the words find a home to make sense and rest
Create a refuge;
a collage of fine twigs, downy feathers, and delicate baby’s breath
to line your heart with tender care
finally serenaded to sleep by a birdsong lullaby
