Each Time — The First Time


When and what

and how I write

gestating

from inside

 

No template

and no syllabus

or digest

to prescribe

 



My mind

protects a virgin

whose children   

yet unsired

 

Each word I breathe

instills the seed

to birth

— my heart’s desire

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2025)
