Opening gambit

I’m mulling around some ideas, some themes that I want to explore.

I wrote this, real quickly tonight.  It just touches on the themes.  I’m sure more will follow.

I call it:

A Gasp from Lazarus

You make me want to write

But not from my head

Where I spend all my time

And am comfortable,

But from the dark—

The battered, bloody—

Tender places of my heart

Where I am lost and frightened,

Vulnerable

And not at all at Home.

And I don’t know, yet,

If I should Bless

Or Damn you

For the nudge.

About Mark Matzeder

By education a filmmaker, by trade an electrician, by avocation a writer and sometime scholar. Occasionally I wring an essay out of some observation I have made or experience I've had and share them here. Sometimes I'll share short fiction. Sometimes a poem. But mostly it's just my spin on this strange trip.
