bubblewrap

i am gentle with myself.

in the dimension

between sleep

and wake,

my words cannot stop.

in my sleep,

my words cannot stop.

writing is my blood,

writing is the breath,

the balance, the centre i find.

i am writing,

writing is me.

i am so gentle

i wrap myself in bubblewrap

and avoid Capital Letters.

i cannot fall asleep

without writing,

i cannot breathe

without writing

i cannot write without

writing

i cannot be without

writing.

the sunshine

is inevitable,

even through the clouds.

writing is obsession

and compulsion

and addiction;

it is everything i am.
