My ode to writing and publishing…
W.I.P
nonsense
the words
the actions
the time it takes to get out of bed
yet here I am
unraveling a ball of twine
the chaos model of my life
the beginning
frayed
unraveling
the end
hidden
somewhere in the middle
suffocated by layers
its supposed to be something
when isn’t it?
I wrestle
submissive
my machete is to dull
for the war playing in front of me
what will I cut through the vines with?
sarcastic interludes
satirical fodder
“air quotes”
those aren’t a weapon
they’re the fuel
this is why I never look up
better to look down
blinders on
eyes on the keys
on the page
on the indelible black ink
that is my life source
better than coffee
some days
Love it–especially how it reads downward like a tombstone–echoing your title. Write to live, live to write. 🙂
