My work yesterday I pursued with fire.. dead letters burned letters with news for countless intended recipients Unknown.. news shadowed or light these notifications of paths NOT taken met their end by my flaming torch.. My role as destroyer carried my reverie ignited a wish a blessing and curse to finally know NOT..
My work today new letters appear.. copying not burning yet sorrows abide in slow repetitive death.. I must rise stand tall Find face and soul in that wall.. I must proclaim I prefer NOT.. PREFER this delicious word.. freedom's choice tasted with short bursts of joy..
Facing my wall searching for NOT into emptiness flowed a bright wholeness of letters and light.. but a price to be paid for other's disdain they are forgiven for not knowing NOT.. NOT holds those letters I've known.. Ah humanity...*
