Song of the Scribe
December 10, 2018
She enthralls my heart like pearl moon to tide,
Shifting sands, stirring minnows from their haunts;
Staring from page, she is abalone eyed;
Mermaid’s purse brimming with my deep-down wants.
Amphitrite of sepia-ink ocean,
bride of the drowning who reach for a pen,
Charybdic, you froth thoughts into motion;
Stir this world, its dreams, its monolith men.
Afloat on her nonsense, the purest truth,
I blink stars from my eyes, which sting at my
raw parts, my sorrow, my unflinching youth;
Her salt-in-wound way of saying good-bye.
My whispering siren, dark and divine;
Behold a scribe devoted; yours is mine.

The relationship between writer and writing is complex, and I wanted to capture that mingled with a motif of something I love (Greek mythology/the ocean.)
