Weird Ouija Board

 

It takes just the kernel 

of an idea 

or an emotion 

to start the writing process.  

If it is chosen well 

it will take me 

on a journey, paths both

conscious and unconscious.  

And it is those things 

outside of my awareness 

that bide their time, 

pregnant with silence,

BIRTHING 

the most extraordinary insights, 

like a subliminal therapist 

that lives in keyboard strokes

choosing words and images,

a kind of weird ouija board

tapping into worlds

fluctuating in an expanse 

of infinite finitude.
