Why on earth can\u2019t I let
\na blank page rest?
\nWhy must I put words on it?
\nRemove the purity of openness.
\nLike dust settling on a virginal surface,
\naccumulating deserts,
\ntrackless dunes.
\nWhat will I find at the edge,
\nwhere the horizon hides?
\nThe beginning of something?
\nA somewhere?<\/p>\n
The sun never stops
\nwriting on the world,
\npunctuating what it shows
\nwith shadows.
\nThen leaves us like a book
\nyet to be written,
\non a table where twilight circles
\nthe remains of day,
\nand we wait in the night
\nfor illumination to save us.
\nScatter the dreams that
\npoured from our hearts
\nas we wrote blind poems
\non pages in the dark,
\nasking
\nwho lives here?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
