You’re never

Further away from Hell,

Than your own shadow.

Nor closer to Heaven,

The same distance within.

It doesn’t make me brave

That you’re afraid to do it.

I just sprinkle on a little opposite dust

And Voila, I’ve written an aphorism.

The opposite is true.

When the chains are made of preference,

Discipline opens the lock.

I didn’t realize I valued my writing,

Until I panicked when I thought

I forgot to hit ‘save.’

And which is the payment.

My cat is resting next to me

On the bed while I write.

I feel so lucky.

She just left.

But I don’t feel unlucky all of a sudden.
