There’s a tiredness
Which flutters, finicky in my chest

It’s a mixture of slumped shoulders and good riddance
Like when the dirty clothes and the dirty wash towels
Are scattered across the floor and I can’t find the right dress
Or even a pair of matching socks
So I sit in the middle of those shifting un-solid mountains
And I shove them aside like God does on his weekends

But I’m not God

No
I’m just a clumsy dreamer
Who doesn’t know where her dreams have wandered
And who tumbles
Tumbles down with all the shifting un-solid mountains.
