Pretty and unpretty poetry
What do you do with a revelation?
Once you get it, you hold it in your mind
And it sits
Staring imploringly into your eyes
And asks, “Why”, “How”, “When”
Questions you have no answer for
And there it waits
Until time and habit strip it away
And what once hit you between the eyes
Now brushes past like dust in a breeze
In those precious few moments
The only way to make it live on
... is to write it down.

Is the revelation staring into your eyes from inside your mind? cuz that’s very possible and rather a powerful image.. but maybe a bit to subtle if that’s the case, and maybe a bit contradictory if it’s not. Also, I might insert a first before precious (or something) to clarify that part a bit..

i caught a thought early today.. it moved to go.. i begged it, stay.. a good thought is so hard to find.. you’re all i’ve got, so please be mine. it twittered some, then moved to stay.. then suddenly, it went away. and i sat down with what i’ve not, and waited for another thought. ~03april02wednesday10:15AM@ali’s apt.
