word play

when I want to write the words fight

to come out of my head

then they see the keys

& flee

they see the paper

& scatter

they see the screen

& scream

into hiding

my words are trying to be free

even bad poetry is good if it gets the words out and down
the pratice of writing is as important as the words and word order itself
writing down what's tossing around inside, jotting of thoughts, catching a fleeting glimpse of the mind in private action & putting it to paper or screen is an act of creativity that brings more & more to the forefront of the conscience for consideration, enumeration & commintment
for when our words are put down, put out there, shared, then the true soul of ourselves can begin to see that it's safe, it's ok, it's good even, to be there.
& when our words are safe out there, so are we.

so write a bit
think a lot
share often
