Steady living of life disrupted------ with space upon space, mountain
spikes low, high flat bottomed out
dull soft notes silent knock in black stark ink
conciousness struggles to fathom flounders in dark

Communication stuttered, collapsed, compassion
guilty
rested, wanted more, it protested and sat arms folded
steady, steady tread missed step as you fell ten
thousand feet
and woke from horrid sickening sleep.

No rest, but the treadmill sets off, the mind relieved
heart resets, continuing again it's constant beat
scared as a child, you calm, realise you are
still here
just a glitch, nothing significant, a snip of time.

I couldn't really set this out how I wanted, have used hyphens to signify spaces.

Thanks Larkin, love your name it is brilliant, good idea about periods, have had a sneaky look at a couple of your pieces, mm very nice, love your subtle rhythm, where it's nearly there, just about, it's very clever, does actually remind me of a very famous american poet! When I can write like that person I will die happy! mm better than sex.
