Textual Context

I have a desire to write

As a way to satisfy

The needs, the wants

Of my mind, of my body


That is to release

Or to couple up

The passions, the persuasions

Of pasts, of presents, of futures


This morning I could write

The most mindful of words

With sorrow, with happiness

Shared by the protagonist


With sadness, or darkness

Pushed out

Beyond the periphery

Over the tracks of yesteryears


Any complication, or quarrel

Within my own interior

Would be planed, sanded, smoothed

Then offered by pen, to the paper
