This week, CREATIVITY.
Creating.
A spark.
The first word.
The flow, a stream
trickling over polished
pebbles. A brook tripping
over moss sheening rocks.
A rushing river tearing down
the mountain from the artic peaks.
The Gange steadily migrates, irrigates
the coastal alluviums of growth, of Life.
Crumb by crumb, the tip of my pen
scratches the parchment, eats at ink
and spits out words. My arm
beholds the sky, searches
for metaphor, the instant
adjective, the sweet
honey, the
elixir.
