Sustenance
Writing is a thing
To keep you alive
On a level with eating
And drinking and breathing.
Journaling as contributing
To proper bowel habits
Poems as supplemental vitamins
Long letters to lovers
As morning exercise
Routines. I’m not necessarily
Talking only of staving off suicide
Although that certainly applies
It’s a different kind of death
The quiet one of every
Day dying inside
