It Is So Written

[Guest guest]

It's like this for me:IT IS SO WRITTEN

 

 

 

You take my Soul

you dip me in Magellan Blue

with utmost care

 

for you have found my hiding place

behind an ancient timepiece

shamed into abeyance

where shadows reach not.

 

Now you ring me out with both your

hands, strong and chiseled

I feel your purpose

 

You have made me ready—

 

Now you write, this fine perfect

Writing tool I am

 

my feet a feather tip, I am the swirl

of your letters, the crosses of your

words,

 

Oh, what writing we write!

 

And now

the parchment yellows

it crumbles in your hands

it blows away in your exhale—

 

Return me gently

to my hiding place.

 

You have used me well.
