I write, therefore I am.

This is crazily beautiful. It was my constant companion all day today.

How do I write?

Sideways
slightly skewed
sometimes
as it clothes me
like a garment sent from away
or sails in my mind
like music through my fingers
when I am half-attention
- it spirals up to the surface
other truths I had not
owned

Somedays
I write
so straight lines
go off the page
someone dear asks
what do you mean
- suffocated by thoughts
in the word-generator
I am a stranger
to what I knew before

Some say
singing comes first
as the seeing
swirls in tones
clustered beyond description
demand to be polished
phrase by phrase
- whose muse
do I serve
when the sounds are obscured
from view?

I write
the writing that is
yet to be born
in me
- let the words be filled
with space
that we may breathe
