Most poets have notepads

 


Most poets

have notepads,

I have graves,

where tales

of dead thoughts lay.

My words

only see the light of day,

after hours spent digging out

the remains.

Then I sit beside

the graveside

shooing

the shadows away.

 

Most poets use paper,

I have word vapour

dripping

over my hands,

I use it to scrawl

out my lines

as quick as I can,

and as it dries

like glue on the skin,

I pick at the pieces

sticking the best words back in.

 

Most poets carry a pen,

I carry a universe

of thoughts in my head.

I carry stories

in a backpack,

hanging over

my sagging shoulders,

verses falling

from where

the zip stuck tight.

I carry the night,

as the moon guides

my hand to write.

A backseat driver on life.

A best friend in moments of strife.

 

Most poets carry a notepad,

delicately scrawled

with the lines

they find.

I have the earth,

every street corner,

Every flower growing

from the dirt.

I have the sound of love

reverberating through my ears,

down to my heart.

I have the sight of beauty

burned into my eyes,

and I also have a notepad

filled with scrawled lines.
