The audacity of 

sipping scalding coffee

On a frigid morning.

Unsettled, anxious, craving

Common sense?

Inspiration.

Nowhere 

while staring 

At the computer. The paper. The tv.

 

<< silence >>

 

Selfish 

(or courageous?)

To try

and fail

Many states of rage

Removed.

 

<< silence >>

 

Nowhere near enough.

Also, too much. 

SHOWING UP to

Create. 

With the audacity of

an artist’s heart.
