The next morning

I went shopping online

For a poem

Idea

Having forgotten my

Dream

 

Clicking through photos

And words

Finding

Nothing interesting

I shut my eyes

And behind my lids

 

There was only

Red light

And the sound of blood

In my brain

If you are quiet enough

You can hear the ocean

 

In your veins

All I need

Is to strike a mental match

And light

A candle in my mind
