Exquisite verse that comes closer to describing the indescrible than any I have read. I love the way you put your emotions in the blood... it makes them more tangible and much more vital!

Oh I know this feeling, much too well. This is the all-night-at-the-keyboard-empty, all-day-in-the-car-screaming to someone else's words, someone else's music. You capture the feeling very well, and I like how you apply it to many different Muses- many times when I can't write, one of my biggest cognitions is the fixation on the fact that I can't paint but I would love to. I agree wholeheartedly with Max: that you equate your gana, your need to emote, with the blood, making it one of the primal humors, is an excellent image and metaphor. The last verse- it's like contractions before birth, in a pregnancy that will never end. Great writing, Vera. Thank you for sharing! {m}
