Handheld God

I swallow the sun at exactly the same time every day,

Just before it’s night.

The sunrays hug my guts –

And lights me up from inside.

As I think of new ways, my mind can coincide –

With ink –

Like a sync or a link –

Made with ink.

Or an ink waterfall

That I casually purify in.

I might as well wash my sins away with it.

Nonetheless, I ingest this yellow pill

As a way to keep me safe.

Because after daylight dims –

The darkness reinstates.

So, no matter if it’s dark out

I can carry a little bit of internal light wherever I go.

It serves as inspiration – whenever I have paper near.

It’s the reason I always carry my handheld God.

 

It’s what I write.

It’s why I write.
