Inspired by “Writing is really a form of addiction, really”
another superb Cyndi MacMillan line
Fill me poets with a
lawful rush to
every cell of existence.
Hooked like sharks
to wounds, guttle
each new drop, each word,
without which we painfully
pass away in need of substance,
a heart, a soul, any heart, any soul.
Kathryn McLoughlin Collins
