How to Write a Poem

( Picture credits:SLAYTINA Pexels)

That’s easy.

First you stay put someplace. Alone. Not lonely. Alone. Then you look around and make sure no one is watching you. If no one is, the next step becomes easier.

Remove ALL your masks. One by one. Every last one of them. The tearing away may leave lacerations on your skin…some of these have fused on your face. Dispassionately and clinically detached, lay them before you and look at them.

Once you have done that, pick out one clear thread out of the noises in your head, Draw it out, an inch at a time It will kick and scratch and bite And you won’t even realise that it is your insecurity colouring the thread

blood red and gut raw But draw it out, inch by painful inch;

Don’t look too closely at it, because some of it might be suppurating, putrid pustules Gently, gently, gently Smear them on the paper before you Once you have done that, Put back your ‘public profile’ mask, the one you wear most often. Examine your handiwork Re arrange it a little A touch here, perhaps a period there Paint here, a patch there Just so A hashtag or two to let it reach the ‘right’ eyes and, perhaps, their hearts, too

So you get your sense of orgasmic release…

and they, a part of your soul.
