It Really Moved Me

My favorite pen. I found it after months of hiding, picked it up &
scrambled through the room for paper
sat and closed my eyes
I always close my eyes before
letting the point fall on the paper like a needle into the grooves of a record and 
words flowed out
words, letters, symbols, ideas, emotions
I scratched them out and smiled, 
I thought of you and enjoyed
the experience and knew
it best to put it out and into
the universe
I wrote without trying, 
I just wrote
images of Arabian jasmine
cloud forests
sweat stained collars
pink factory light
the familiar scent of sulfur
hovering over I-75 that reminds me of home.
Live jazz between the walls of Eastern market holes where
stars form constellations but have no names and
Yes, it really moved me.
