Writing as Dying
It’s as simple as…
Opening a vein
instantly feeling the flow
like death into life
and
following
wherever this flow
chooses to go...
Like ghost lights
On the darkest nights
Drifting & darting
Playing & parting
Into
a
window
span
of
blood
flow
to
land
on
land
Author's Note
I was just thinking of the writing process, or, the creative process... Normally, I compose first to LibreOffice, however, a few times, I just wrote strait to the post box field thing, which to me, is like skydiving, or even, jumping without a parachute, to challenge oneself, to break on through to the other side, always trying to break on through to the other side... Like a ghost rider, at the top of a ramp, upon the sight of helicopter blades, spinning, and you just rev the engine, with a devil may care attitude, and you just go... Airborne... Or... Writing as bloodletting, and bloodletting as dying.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.

I often feel like it's a bloodletting... I have written as much, I think I remember using that phrase but I can't remember the name of the poem... haha.... I am pretty sure, anyway. I feel this poem to my core.
Excellently conveyed and I like that I've reread and it feels like one of your pieces that I will continually get new and interesting lightning bolts of thoughts from.... To me, that makes for such fucking kick ass , spills ... pardon my frankness.... ha!

Hello Cipher, I appreciate the way your words look like a blade, and the idea of going free fall and letting your mind do the writing. Kind of like when I explain to people when I’m asked when I’m writing stories, what’s gonna happen next? I always and often say I have no idea until I write it.
it’s pretty amazing what we’re capable of 🤗
Well done C !

Thank you Jackie. I very much appreciate your attention to detail, and your keen perspective, on all matters.
Oh... I think that is the best way to write stories, not knowing yourself, what is going to happen. I think that in this way, thereby, one better infuses the electricity of the other side of the veil.
I am amazingly amazed by your maze amazing... (way killer:))

Dear C,
There isn’t a word of this poem that isn’t exactly what writing is about. The sacrifice and bearing one’s soul in truth is as painful as it is refreshing. I very much admired the description and heart you put forth for this process of writing poetry. So well done. H🌷

Thought provoking insights, which I greatly appreciate.
"Writing is the essence of all and it surely is part of the bloodstream, the life blood, the death cloth"
That is so beautiful...
