The Author's Genesis

.

.

                It starts with friction -

                Like the rubbing of two sticks -  

                As the parts of yourself

                That protrude - that’ve

.

                Painfully distended, jutting

                From the secretive folds

                That’ve become

                Everyday persona, clothing -

.

                Rub against the parts of the world

                From which there is no hiding.

.

.

                                Abrasion, blackened wood,

                                Callouses and kindling,

                                A little heat,

                                A little smoke, a spark,

.

                                And before you know it

                                Friction becomes fiction

                                And the imagination

                                Ignites

.

                                Into fantasy, fulfillment,

                                And incredible works of art.
