Challenging Reality: The Rush

- The anticipation is a secret kept by those who have experienced the rush, the intimacy between a poet and the web they are weaving. Each word is ecstasy and torment as it pulses with infinite truths, deceptions, and the basic human need to relate and touch another. -

- I wrote this a while ago – I’m not quite sure when (neglecting to date my writing is a horrible habit of mine).

I’ve been busy lately. Nothing more or less than the usual craziness of my life in this current state -- but any writing I’ve been doing lately has been interviews, cover letters, and emails. I’ve had no time to dedicate to poetry.

This always puts me in a peculiar way. I miss the rush.
