Stammer ~ Wednesday, 23 May 2018

Let me let me let me
go let me go and not
forget and not forget

And not forget the name
the name the name the tip
of my tongue of my tongue

It burns it burns it burns
a hole into my brain
into my brain a hole

Small enough for a mouse
a mouse a mouse to fit
inside inside my brain

Small enough for a train
a train a train to pass
through pass through a tunnel

Emerge emerge emerge
out of a hole a hole
a hole like a baby

Zip to close to open
to close to unravel
to ravel means the same

Nothing nothing nothing
ever changes ever
changes without a push

Of course of course of course
a horse is not a mouse
a mouse a mouse inside

Upside outside downward
slide across the rainbow
rainbow rainbow the pot

Small enough for a man
a man a man to sit
beside a pot of gold

Of course of course of course
this horse is not a man
who is a leprechaun

Upside down like a bat
a bat a bat hanging
from a branch on a tree

Better better better
never to remember
than to forget the past

Let me let me let me
never forget never forget
never forget the name

It burns it burns it burns
a hole into my brain
into my brain a hole

Emergent emergent
emergent memories
erupt the volcano

Release release release
the bat the horse the mouse
the man within my brain
