Power Down

Tonight I write by candlelight.  A scheduled outage they said.

No light, no heat, no electronic hum but in the shadows story pours from my pen.  Stream of consciousness, words flow like water or wine or my own blood.

Now I know I should have contrived a blackout long ago.

PROCESS

syllables of small
poems occupy large portions of
my befuddled brain

writing process, what
is my writing process? do
I even have one?

a mental blender
is what I need to create
my word salad
