Poetic

by Stevi Meredith


go crazy on the page
     let loose
     write upside down
     and in circles
twirl the words into rivulets
     of sweat
     that drip
           in
           to
           the
       crevices
     each drop
    forming steam
that rises from the paper

go crazy on the page
     use all 
     the words
     you know
let them cuddle in the spaces
     soft silences
     that form
       mounds
       valleys
       peaks
       and shadows
     let the words
     suck
the ink from the pen

go crazy on the page
     let the colors
     of your words
     erupt
       like champaigne
       from a bottle
       let them
       run
            d
             o
              w
               n
                the sides
like cookies and cream
     let your pen
     lick them back into place

go crazy on the page

       then kiss me
