PURGE
By Matt Barker
Purge
Recently,
I have been guilty
of leaving
the paper
blank
a writer
is only
as good
as the ink
that makes it
onto the paper
I am scared
I might have
lost it…..
Deposit
the day is drowning
unable to endure
the unflinching trickle of time
writers never die
effortlessly evading extinction
inevitable immortality implied in ink
molded by the momentary mindset
it will come
don’t take it
too seriously…………
