Cracks of Time and Walnuts
The writing process — a poem
Cracks of time
needed
to pry words
from air
from my heart
my soul
I need a tool
to break them free
like a nutcracker
breaks a walnut
reveals the chambers
the morsels, meat
inside
I use a slim
digger to excavate
the goodness
Cracks of time
allow for foraging
gathering the bits
into my palm
a satisfying mix
set aside
for later
when time allows
for more
walnuts tossed
into a satisfying salad
of words
