New Ink

There's an ink that  
can erase old written words
when
you write something new on  
top of them.  
 
As, I dipped my pen in it,
scribbling on the same paper,
thinking, pondering...
yet, I kept writing the same words  
over and over again.  
 
Abstract repetitions...  
of process and paths,  
that I have experienced  
and I couldn't write
anything down.  
 
Does, that must mean dreaming  
is a form of writing  
in circles, in spirals?
 
Is there an escape?  
As I stare, aimlessly
with wide eyes..  
 
Perhaps a new paper or a new ink.
