BRAIN ON AUTOPILOT - Gopi Kottoor (India)

 


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.
