gestation of a book
January 26, 2012
for three years.
three long years…
i’ve been experiencing
morning sickness.
throwing up the words
of my childhood,
into this book.
my swollen hands
can’t hold a pen long enough
to wait for this embryo
of letters to take the form of words.
this lyrical fetus
grows…
but the chapters
drown in water retention.
so i am giving birth to pre-mature poetry…
before the umbilical cord strangles this piece of me.
hoping in an incubator,
truth will develop in the lungs of this poetic child.

You are so phenomenally good, yu need to move to the next level and write a book of poetry and your thoughts. You put things in a way that you don’t think will work but comes out fantastic. Keep up the phenomenal work on (WORDS). Love Peace & Soul. PS Never let anyone or anything ever stop you ; )
