Poetry Wakes Me

Poetry wakes me from my dead dreams. I am like a woman who has been entombed. My eyes pop open in a vampire-ish way. My arms stretch out of my coffin bed. What do you want? I ask Poetry. Irritated, I look around in the dark. Where is he? Where did he go? Giving me only the last line again. I hate that!

You console me with this, this often happens to me. I taught it was because I am a young writer.

No. It is because writing often teases us in our sleep, waking us up with the last line to torment us the rest of the day.
