i'm worried
with the speed of which
i write my poems at.
but i need to write,
i might as well use the fire
as it's burning
but my fear is of
eventual smoldering
and then smoke
as i attempt to
string words together
into poems
at a loss
when the smoke is gone
and the fire is dead.
what will i do then?
i'll be at a loss of words
and at a loss of expressing myself
but that doesn't mean i'm stopping out of fear.
no way
it just means
i'll go until it's out
hopefully life keeps
feeding the fire.
