Poet Mind

 By Leah Mendelsohn
​
Your mind is filled with trinkets and tinkers, 
tying into words only spoken by drinkers, 
your name is all over the walls and empty halls, leading to vines,
leading to gardens of wilting flowers where ‘she loves me, she loves me not’ is written on every petal.
A kettle is screaming waiting to be poured and served,
strings of steam pulling up from the cup,
a white button up with a velvet coat, 
afloat on cloud 9 with a glass of red wine. 
The poet mind is a place of messy pages and rages.
