when you write it down
write it heart-loud
write it first in burgundy
like the blood that pulses through
each of our veins, insecure
it waits there in the quiver
of the readying call-to-action
that trauma throws
into motion—it’s the healing
write through this with me
take a breath
in blue go back over
each letter you’ve confessed
each word conjured with skill
will come alive, 3D, jump
off the page, wrap every looped letter
around to embrace you
write through this with me
write it heart-proud
with deep intention knowing
this is medicine
then write it again
when you write it down
and over again be sure
the page can feel you, be sure
it can hear you
tear into the page beneath
so there is no mistaking your mark
write through this with me
write it heart-confident
know that you chose
this surface assured it would catch
you when you run off the edge
or break into the next page
it’s your muse—use it
write through this with me
