Editing, changing
New inspiration,
perspiration,
Revision, refocus
Capturing ether
anew
Wanting
to give the words life
Wanting, yearning
Seeing
the beauty
precision,
perfection,
Magic
in this prose
Just beyond arm’s
reach
Cut and paste, new
language
Sharpening the
writing
The metaphor, the
analogy
Teasing the whites
higher
Letting
go of the old
Pulling
edits in, ripping chaff out
Not
as a criticism of myself
Working
to fix, to perfect
Not really
abandoning
The inspiration
preceding
Creating new, now
Losing voice,
gaining power
Gaining strength,
within,
Struggle for
balance
New eyes needed
still
Structure
and time
Dig
into it, rip, patch,
Next
time better, richer,
More
fully revealing
The
beauty within
