Activity
I am writing again, which
feels like the wrong thing
behind me
there are thousands of figures
symbols for lost time
like a chair is not its word
“chair” a person
is not his name
nor is he what he leaves
behind
he is not named
“gunk in corners”
though he resides there
with no need for sitting, writing
now he sinks
where chairs were
leaving behind residue
like ink
on the paper
at night
black glowing
on the screen
before me
nice to see your words
Thank you Johnny. Nice to see your words as well. I’m excited to reconnect with your work in the coming days. It’s good to be back!
And then it was my turn to disappear…….
Quickly reminded how and why I love your poetry so much. Fantastic stuff, Brett.
