Avoid common mistakes on your manuscript.
Like the sun
I cannot bear to face it:
I say that it has nothing to do with me,
Exists outside of me, a silence
A darkness
When everything is done.
Yet even now
I feel it deep within me, closer
Than my breathing,
Moving within me, slow as my blood,
Measuring me
With all I care to do, a shadow
I follow
Or that follows me
And leads me to my centre not my edge.
