on writing

[tonywalt]

The hand kept moving

long after the fire

learned obedience.

each line arrived on time.

the room stayed clean.

the shape became perfect.

and

the spirit waned.

I like the economy of this poem, Tony!

Enjoyed too :) It's a shame the fire gets tamed and the spirit wanes.
