    Would you die for your art?

     
    The reason I ask, is that I wrote this next piece while I was driving up the 404.  I know it's stupid... I know I probably should have pulled over, or gotten off the highway... but I didn't want to lose the thread.  I wanted to get it onto paper before I had a chance to change the words that were flooding into my head...
     
    So I suppose I was willing to risk death on the highway to comply with my inner voice... insane?  Foolish?  History will decide I suppose.  I survived to write it!
     
    I gather my cloak
    around me
    against the cold
    and the storm
    of words I didn't say
    couldn't say.
    I turn as the wind
    and the shame
    burn my cheeks
    bringing tears.
    I shuffle through
    the frozen grass,
    still thick with
    remnants of ice
    and the pathetic detritus
    of everything we left
    unspoken
    where it fell...
    ...to my car
    and drive into
    the sunset of us.

    Hey hun...that was brilliant. I am the same way sometimes...I think of a poem or thought and if I want to remember it, I have to stop what I'm doing and get it on paper otherwise I will forget it. The other day I was at work and serving a customer, but I had to stop to write some words down...

    keep writing, just be careful when you're driving :)

    I miss talking to you and hope everything is going well in your life.
