April 10, 2012
Seems that I get on one track of thought in writing. I guess that all writers find something that they want to write about and do just that... But in doing that also try to find new avenues ways to convey what is going on in the creative mind. My problem right now is that I don't have enough avenues to travel down so it seems to be the same scenery. I guess that's not bad.... but I need to explore more and find different ways to express that exploration. But for now:











Existence, whittled down to simple
black and white, to nothing more
than words upon a page,
to pitted skin and saggy flesh
and wayward thoughts for something,
something more than this.

More than waking, stretching out my arms and legs
which always seek a bigger shadow than the shadow
hanging on the wall. Something more than sleeping in
when the sun comes out, dreaming endlessly through
cloudy days, never knowing if I sleep or am awake.
I listen to the whispering wind outside

and realize it no longer shares itself with me.
The quiet girls in English class excite me when
they bend, pretending to pick up books which had,
somehow, quite magically fallen to the floor.
I use to love to watch them, but not so much these days.
I’d rather watch the night fade without a thought for hips.
