I pick up a pen to write.
Not of lists, or notes
organisational tools
journaling, extracting sentences delicately under aesthetic for careful analysis under a highly focused lens.
No, not today
today I play with words
like a kitten with wool
or drunk lovers with a whole night ahead.
I simply enjoy.
Appreciate.
Take pleasure in experimenting
with structure, rhyme and form.
Breaking and rebuilding
stickle bricks
that save me from the grown up world
and reconnect me to that little girl
who once wrote stories every day.
