Inspiration came tippin in at 2:40am
Whispering in husk voice
“wake up”
nudging me gently
“wake up”
I must ignore him
He who steals my slumber for words
That do nothing but lay in atrophy across Ms Office document pages
Words that may never be read or spoken
Words that will probably die with me
Ignore him
I must
“wake up”
I feel him all over me
Even in my sleep my body responds
Naturally
We tussle with languages and melodies
Dare each other to disagree
We wrestle with taboo topics
What’s considered PC
We
phuck for fun
and
write for life
This
is our nightly ritual
“wake up”
but I have to work tomorrow
“wake up”
I have a headache?
“wake up”
well maybe just for ten minutes but then I have to…
“wake up – its time to write”
inspiration came tippin’ in at 2:40am
glad that I
finally
gave him the key
