The Better to Lure You With

June 28, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

the better I write
the more I may draw you
in
to me
you may draw me
or scribble
maybe even venture an outline
but art is art
you envisioned
and I was no longer transparent
I am tangible to you
obsessed with writing better
you may love me one day
they may love me better
outside of this
life is too nuanced
trying to decipher risk
when I’m as hyper as hyperbole
as introverted as hyperbolic
as uncertain as hypothesis
maybe my creativity can
create us
can
create freedom
can
create love
can
create acceptance
can
create wholeness
can
create healing
can
create sanity
can
you create with me?
