"The mark of a really great writer is that he or she gives expression to what the masses of mankind think or feel without knowing it. The mediocre writer simply writes what everyone would have said."
-G.C. Lichtenberg


               
Night Writing
Awake. Night writing.
Sleepless. Uncomfortable.
Ideas swimming.
Realization dawning.
And I'm arguing with myself.
No way to win
When you're the one who loses.

Turmoil. Disorganized.
In need of some repairs.
Attention to things.
Things with no soul. No rhythm.
Things like bills. Like cleaning.
Like a career that interests me.

Awake. Night writing.
And I need something
With soul to write about.
My brain is stuck on work.
On offices. On money.
And her.
She's soulful. She has rhythm.
She'll be here at the cabin soon.
Here where time stands still.
Where the timbers tilt together.
Great inverted Vs above my head.
A page. All I want is a page.

Awake. Night writing.
Sleepless. Uncomfortable.
Wordless.
