Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

Within your heart

Never so full, I never
was bereft so utterly
- along with everything wrest
please take away this heart
ache, headache, stomach
twitching with claustrophobia
remembrance of your embrace
that which escapes me anew
ensures I will not get over
or come under fire for, or be
relieved of these mistakes
please tell me how love is put down
- I have nowhere, no when
that I do not, do I, for to be done in by?
