Cursive

 

 What happens when I pen with care,

Shape each letter, inscribe each word,

Invite the thoughts to form

                and move and

                flow down and

                mingle and spread in

                rivulets that soak into the page?

Something stirs.

A question that lies sleeping 

                begins to dream.

It existed before words.

It has never seen its own reflection.

The question is dreaming of a river

flowing, gurgling, glistening

                like wet ink.
