Completely Dead

Gleefully, with fingers flying fast

she places her eloquent words

down on the page, emptying her head

The reader, with awed eyes

laps up the words

She utters a cry of praise,

for the writer's edible thoughts.

 

The writer lies dead.

The reader, completed.

For the writer has relinquished her

brain to the reader.

For my most avid reader, Hannah. :)

She's has picked my brain on many occasions and forces me to continue writing,

even when my ideas disappear.
