after many rewrites of self

after many rewrites of self

 

 

 

I am the figurative version

of a poem

ending in ellipses 

 

which means

I go on in the imagination

as if there is no severance

to my sentence of life

 

strange invasions

thoughts caught in a cup of dreams

cream and sugar doubtful

better black and strong

 

strong enough

to put me in a literal

state

 

a highway of metaphor

to find out just who I am

 

and why I write.

' We are what we eat '. For writers:- ' We are what we Write ' Very true. I see it in that way. Like sometimes I even go through phases of writing moods but as I look back it always feels awkwardly comforting.

Thank you, Anushka..."Awkwardly comforting" Yes, true.
