there’s a line all writers know
it can’t be crossed on purpose
we creep up to its edges with our craft
like a ship up to the sand
but cannot step over it
until we learn to swim
with lessons from Hemingway.
i do not sleep until i hit this line
and one day i pray i’ll pass it
and what i write is what i think
what i feel.
