So sometimes I am in this place of what I call incognito poet. Like even if you could or would want to follow me every minute of the day(s) nothing remotely resembling writing of any kind goes on. Maybe email stuff or lately working a final edit on a collection but nothing else is going on. Certainly nothing poetical.
The days are fine, or not. The drink is occasional or more. The life goes twitchy tumble or smooth and fine a something silky with out the death or torture of a single worm.
so
it goes
sitting up with the 6 o clock coffee
another morning reminiscent of the one before
for no apparent reason
i get these lines in my head
a lonely lovers kinda of thing
four or five lines
by the time i think i should jot it down
you know its gone
well not quite all
there is a bit of a linger ~
your tears like stars found light in the dark
and I think yeah I can work with that
~
Turkish coffee
well
the morning owes me that
maybe later I find something to write on
maybe
but you know if you cave in to the muse
won’t she despise such boyish weakness
never chase any woman
even if you don’t end up arrested
you’ll be rejected
so
maybe
Your
tears
like stars find
light in the dark
nothing else
.

It’s been hectic the past two weeks, what with finals and all. I shall give my last one tomorrow morning then comes the messy aprt, correcting/computing. So sorry if I could not comment right away on your poesie. Soon, I hope. Meanwhile, keep well; keep being creative, especially during periods of boredom/ennui. The great Alberto Moravia (Pincherle) can attest to that. Best to you from here, and God bless us all. e/s

“It is what we are forced to do that forms our character, not what we do of our own free will.” – Alberto Moravia had never heard of him till today
