Craft Easy (Or How I Write)
Craft is easy when
It comes unnatural
Like how a broken mouth
Is zipped; or ribbed; or
Too full to talk, craft is
That lever that pries it
Releasing the full power of
A broken voice singing
In E major; belting
Incapable of silence again
But the pregnant
Pauses would reveal
The quiet is the craft;
And the craft is the
Noise between the
Buzz.

CARD DRAWN:
EIGHT OF PENTACLES
THIS IS THE TAROT CHALLENGE, a 78-day writing challenge where everyday I pick out a random card from my tarot deck and write something about, against, inspired by, based on the card by the day’s end. The works can range from poetry to fiction to drama. When the card is from the major arcana, the title of the work should be the card name. When the card is from the minor arcana, the title can be different but the card drawn should be revealed at the end.
