A Poem by Vria P Crow
"

"I miss the crazy..."

"
c r a z y/h o r s e

I miss the crazy;
  the n u m b e r s

  clamored in static-
      aligned with
  the cerebral ghost.
   

It scratched
It gnawed.
It screeched.

It spoke
   through the dots
       scattered
          in
        silence.

I miss the crazy;
  the l e t t e r s
  fade behind images-
      aligned with
   the cerebral ghost.

It was blameless.
It was thoughtless.
It was limitless.

It spoke
   through the dots
       scattered
          in
        silence.

This piece reads like you are reminiscing about the good in a bad situation, whilst also being reminded that they are ghosts for a reason. They still are ghosts, as your writing suggests that they still linger in your thoughts, long after they are gone. Maybe it is the excitement of the danger you miss, the adrenaline rush of feeling so alive, yet those are the memories and you chose this reality over it, or was it chosen for you?
Interesting write, even if I am way off, it provokes thought and packs a punch too.

Hey Ria, first I admit that I read this purely because of the title and I'm glad I did. I also what to tell you that this has a solid lyrical vibe the repetition lends to it...like serious props on that!
Cerebral ghost, super! I think we all have those gnawing away at us or maybe they're just the things we regret. I like this one a bunch. R xo

it's good. i like the imagery. the whole thing is faded out.

why is it called crazy/horse

Posted 9 Years Ago


In what ever we do there is always crazy so when we stop doing the things we love the crazy stops and there is something about the craziness that we miss so much.

I think the poem is about a person that keeps a diary with its encounters with ghosts.

I apologize for the late response. Thank you very much for reading! :)
The repetition adds to the rhythm here, Ria - I read it through a few times to try to capture the vibe, and it got better with each read.

Thank you, Rita!
Gives me the feeling of such vastness offered through the internet and the life of an onlooker, I do like this a lot, your usual clever articulation is inspiring...would love to see this as a short story, definitely! x
