BRAIN ON AUTOPILOT
-        
Gopi Kottoor (India) 
The brain on autopilot is
climbing the skies,
40,000 feet above the
islands of our breaking hearts,
Pretending it’s all
iron;                                                                                                                                         among
the kissing clouds
In love’s amphitheatre,
flower fields of
nakedness,
in oxytocin, and
vasopressin madness,
simmering before descent,
is crashing, to earth, as
rain.
