Definition 4.9

at what point do you type your poem? this ever changing process. sink sand suddenly, dry rock in another step, sometimes in and sometimes above the deluge.

how a poem is found: lifting a rock at the beach watching the small crab scuttle from the threat of you - returning each rock to where it was first.

I have gotten over the worry of not having anything to say. I say this to you, we each have much to say. Not saying I want to hear evrything you have to say, maybe I do, but most times I am content with only a small amount of the mass.

the poem starts with a word, the word becomes a line, there is a break somewhere. not the same as a bone breaking, although imagine…

our own preferred notebook, are own natural time to write. I used to do it all at night but now much prefer the morning, to get in a 3 hours before noon works well.

from the page where do you take the words? to the computer to type and then put in stanza’s and then print, or do you rewrte them on another page?

there is a point that helps to type the work, to see it neatly. then I move around more, and often return to writing on the page again, to work out lines I like but that are not quite write.

to feel the work through my own hand, the way I lean into a page is different than the way I arrange my body to type, is different then the way my hands sit at a key board.
