sated, sated


sated, sated
because of 4
written november 24th, 2020

sated, sated
my body prostrate

sated, sated
in screams and trembling

sated, sated
now loosed with our coming

sated, sated
the passion
fear
worry
love
shame
beauty
the terrible aloneness

has all been spent
and i am

sated, sated

I am so happy when poems come. Of course, it helps if I sit and try to write. I get something down. Then I write and rewrite until the words feel polished and correct. Until the words become unchanging. I think about the rhythm a little bit, I fall in love with certain words, I want to use that word, like "spent" in too many places. then i scroll through a thesaurus, and "prostrate" maybe is an interesting choice? I fuss and obsess and rewrite until I am tired of it all and I decide to let it go, the way it is. Here it is. For you who is reading this. It is not perfect, but maybe it is enough, for today.

I don’t think any writer is ever truly satisfied with their work. We all have different processes. I’m a died in the wool Pantser.
Your poem is very poignant. The emotion bleeds through the screen. Very nice indeed.

My name is MrWrong and I approved this comment
