this page
 
so blank and bereft of interest
 
left to my design
a spinning begins to churn within
 
for a moment I pause
a bead of sweat forms
brows furrow
eyes squint
 
I consider the stars…
 
I shoot through the clouds skyward
inhale lungs full of galactic materials
then return and exhale them
liberally over the page
it glows and dances in glorious gavottes
as puzzles are posed
riddles revealed
and reasoning resounds
 
then--
a reaction
do you approve?
are you peeved?
it matters not,
the page is full
