So, a bit of a description to the following poem. This poem is a result of a little thing I have on my desktop of my computer, it is a little notepad document titled 'writing pad'. I literally open it every now and then and just type anything and everything. And every week or so, I will go back to it, and pick things out. Sometimes whole verses, sometimes just a line. I fid it a really helpful tool when I'm stuck for ideas or I have forgotten something that was pressing on my mind a few days ago. So this is a snippet from my 'writing pad'. an unedited piece that took me probably five minutes to write.
call me out.
take me in.
repeat everything you said
in the light not the dark.
everything is different.
now notice that you survived.
and
we are caught out like soldiers
in the heat of the day.
and
we are caught out like soldiers
blood stains give them away.
just because you said it doesn't mean you meant it.
we are faking a life
and it has caught up with us.
Hey Amy
ReplyDeleteI never did the whole writing pad thing (well physical note book) but I use my iphone notes like you use your comp. Sometimes it's good to just get it out rapidly! It feels like you have three really nice fragments here.
Anyway, just thought I'd drop by. Look forward to your next post. Always interested to hear the behind the scenes stuff.
