Catch Them Quick

Bright ideas
lurk
in darkest thickets,
prone to prowling,
focusing their prey,
sinews itching,
biding their time,
staring you out....

Pouncing,

headlong into your psyche,
letting you deflect them
or forcing you to face them down,
devour them whole or
consume a fleshy bite,
in this fight or flight,
for the right,
to feed afresh...

on the carcass of your mind.
