THE CREATIVE PUSH & PULL

you got to push it out
like birth
from need
from heart
forced by guts
out the valve you tore

& you must pull too
with exposure
laying bait
& fishing & trawling & mining

& if all that is
is a weak fart
on low hanging fruit

well i still did it

INSOMNIAS IGNORED WHITE FLAG

i chase sleep

wait to feel the pull
from the other side

i wave a white flag of surrender

i am never first in the queue

let me in
let me in
let me in

i am as unarmed as i get
i am going stale here

like bread out for birds

~

on the rabbit hole lintel
unswallowed
i pretend to sleep

who will know ?

the night 
thats who

the night
