so i shall try this again. daily writing. yes, i’ve been terribly lax about it. and i’m going to start with the easy stuff. i shall write a poem every day for public consumption. and you shall tell me if i suck. be honest. i shan’t bite you.

here’s today’s poem.

truth
lies between sheets
paper nestled within
without touching itself or
me
broken from the mold of
tree, branch, root
taking hold
without contact
without sound
without voice but
startling in its absence
presented without gift
taken without rhythm
stolen
lacking remorse but
overwhelmed with desire
speak again
i forgot to listen
and heard
truth
