get prompt
feel language strain, slice, split containment and split
worry
read clock
bury self in time, in work, in distraction
return to prompt
the word is noise is frozen fire razor-edged
worry
slice ribboned mind to bleed words through
worry more
words flood torrent drowns
write
erase
drowning, weep
write

panic
repeat until there's no time
breathe shallow

@sj_ashcroft2@Aphelion I was trying to resist thinking of myself as a poet. But then I've spent decades resisting thinking of myself as any kind of writer so it's nothing new.
Not sure if you are doing that strange mis-tagging again @Aphelion . If that was meant for me, thanks, but I'm not "resisting". If for @stevencudahy , then thanks for confirming the futility of resistance.
@sj_ashcroft2 on my screen you’re both tagged, maybe it’s a mastodon exclusive thing. It was meant to confirm the futility of resistance! @stevencudahy one of us one of us one of us!!
@Aphelion@sj_ashcroft2 Thank you both. Appreciate that I may be on a road towards a place from whence I might be lucky enough to depart for a location hidden and difficult.to reach which, when found, will provide the map towards the beginnings of starting to possibly consider initiating a plan to describe myself as a poet, in the dark, in a whisper no one else can hear...
@stevencudahy You have experience of debauchery, @Aphelion ? I am outraged, if not scandalised. Poor old @wordsmith might need a strong drink to recover from the very thought!!!
@stevencudahy@wordsmith - run; @Aphelion is merciless and implacable; she won't even give a thruppence. I can confirm this from personal experience...!
