neverending no

by

it creeps in like hope
                                       love clinging 
                     safe sound
 stripped 
                  the veiled shape of it

flowers watered in

fears denying all expected
witherings
                     crinkling snakeskin 

discarded    aimed star-ward

like a voice

bare 
            toneless in the void

                                        humanoid 
abyss
              a soft secret singing in spite

  a world is made in the name of

everlasting refusal to look up 

                                                      give in

Reggie and Uilleam, it's not just for the rhythm which I do think works better and instead of pretending some literary bollox I it felt it conveyed more accurately whatever was inspiring me at the time of writing it.
It was completely different in the first draft but I followed whatever happened to be influencing that part of me at the time and this just felt right in a way I can't fully explain. I wish I could clarify but tbh I've been writing my entire life and I still don't really understand how the process works for me. I hope you enjoyed it despite the seemingly chaotic layout

I find that layout makes me "search?" or work for the next word- and as a result, pay more attention to what I'm reading...........?
