Jag kastas utan nåd ur sömnens djup När verkligheten krossar nattens dröm Min spegelbild vill krossa allt den ser Men vattnets heta strålar gör mig lugn Jag grymtar “nej” som svar på ett “gomorron” Jag vägrar vara trevlig utan te Min varma dryck, ett ögonblick av frid Sen jag i…

Writing every day
“To rid yourself of old patterns, focus all your energy not on struggling with the old, but on building the new.” — Dan Millman (Way of the Peaceful Warrior) Good advice concerning any habit. Not doing things is way harder than doing other things instead. Right now I’m building the habit of…

I will write
I will write in words of fire. I will write them on your skin. I will write about desire. Write beginnings, write of sin. You’re the book I love the best, your skin only holds my truth, you will be a palimpsest lines of age rewriting youth. You will not…
