The urge to write is like a binge to me
A binge for food, booze and shopping for second-hand clothes
The urge to write is like a hunger in me
A hunger for love, connection and insight
The urge to write is like a desert to me
An arid place, an empty place, a valley of sand in the heart
The urge to write is like a kind of grief
A grief from age, boredom, a kind of inner death
The urge to write is like indigestion
A pain of heaviness and of being over-full---in need of a purge
The urge to write is like an allergy
An allergy under my skin, between my ears, and at the tip of my pen
