reminded me of a poem I wrote for some reason.....
Writing
The lines on this page grab my thought,
grab isn’t quite right, seize, hold,
take hold, hold hostage, retrieve,
extract, extract, yes.
My pen extracts words, and fixes
them between the safe confines of even lines
like an artist’s brush stroking the canvas.
My hand cradles the pen, my pen rests
in the crook of my hand, while my thumb
and forefinger pinch the tip, squeezing
words onto the page. Each letter
like a drop of blood from a pinprick.
