Writing Down the Bones: A book


Writing Down the Bones,
a title of a book,
about writing, how to do it
correctly.
I've never read it, daring to write
without knowing how, uneducated, uncultured,
unknown.
I've heard it's a must read for all poets,
I must read it sometime so I could learn how to
write instead of randomly placing words on a page
like I've been doing for so many years.
it's a ritual
not a task, a ritual without candles
or incense, prayers or kneeling, there are no Gods,
no degrees, no literary circles, nothing but me
and some random thoughts on the second floor
of a little house in Boulder, CO.
there is no need for a reader, the words spill out
and tell me what I really think.
