The Hunger To Create Dangerously


Everyone has their answer
to bury or to silently scream aloud.
This is mine:
Gather your riches
only where you have the most to lose.
Learn to find the crossroads,
and make your study there.
Revelations come bound in boldness,
or courage,
or faith.
Push yourself beyond everything you can name,
and fight until your trembling back is against the wall.
Create here.
Where it's the most dangerous.
Only then will you express
what is more essential than silence.
