if you find your life
entangled with a writer
heed this warning
if you find yourself
a writer’s lover or spouse
if you find yourself
(god forbid) a writer’s child
if you need food shelter or clothing
or (god forbid) an affectionate hand
if you need even a trace of selfless intimacy
this, i mean, this is all you will get
words
stark and solitary across a page
and they will be as satisfying as
tearing a page from a novel
to slip into your dry mouth
