AH BUT IF YOU GET ME Ah but if you get me going I will run and run and run and never stop. This creature inside me, this holy thing, this dark thing, this hopeful, loving, miraculous thing that's been with me all my life, will start to sing and howl and complain and with words try in some way to make love to you. I'm tired, though. Tired. And I feel pain. Physical pain. For days now. The world gives me advice. Friends say see a doctor, do this, do that. You are in trouble, man. You need help. I laugh. Gallows humor, you know how it goes. There is a rattle in my kitchen where this keyboard is, the night sits outside like a ghoul, or like a waiting lover, and I write you. How silly it all seems tonight, this creative act. How beautiful it is, with no use whatsoever. And this is what is most lovely about it. DP 9/30/9 |
