When a callus blooms from an exploded blister
and basic stitches write themselves as learned,
then fall to folly. Your license is earned.
The world settles in original desire—a letter
sent home, not a poem stolen
at a high price from the faith of your husband.
The art will seem a cinch, natural as sand,
when you think of instinct as invention.
Then, form shouts like a sinner at revival
who allows reason to die and emotion rule
the trust that he'll wake above water.
Excesses sink to the bed of the baptismal
lake. Dive to the watery bottom, your school
where experience hardens your shaky finger.
