You may write as an
old dip pen,
Repeatedly immersing
yourself,
Repeatedly leaving a
trail.
You may write as a
fountain pen
Having drunk deeply
yet
Discretely contained
the ink.
You may write as a
ballpoint
Emptying ink from
within.
Or you may write as
a pencil,
Sharp, blunting with
use,
Sharpened - shaved
to sharpness -
The wood discarded,
the lead
Cut, and the spoor
left
Yourself scrawled on
the page.
