Today is a Beautiful Mess
By Elexer Lyra
Today is a beautiful mess.
Desk full of useful clutter
given no place to officially be,
but a spot I know where it is.
Headphones are on one side
on top of small blankets of paper,
on the other a lamp is having a
conversation with a stranded
bottle cap.
Ginger candy is hiding under
a coupon sheet,
wanting to be eaten,
but my mind rejects as
a slight throbbing occurs under
damp, long, and heavy hair.
