Writing Beast

By Raven King


Extracting a few words

like opening a packet of yeast

adding warm water

a little sugar.


Primordial bubbles in the mind

growing and aching to be released

Play with my little beast.

Add flour

grows firm,

rises.


Rewriting goes like this

spank the dough

gets deflated

cover with a blanket

rises again.


Play with the little beast

pinch , poke

roll it.

Show the doughboy who's boss.

Work it.


Need a stronger leash

for the beast

needs to be released.

Godzilla eats cactus and gets prickly

GRrr

Spirits can't wait for Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Cars have costumes: porque no?

You are a very naughty girl. "Show the doughboy who's boss", eh? Gotta work on remembering to keep that respectable distance between us. How much is that again?
