Looking Back to Move Forward

Erasure / Blackout Poetry is currently my favorite practice. The boys have filled our bookshelves with classics. The random draw of a title and the binding snap blind selection of my daily practice is bringing me deep diving reflections. Today’s practice landed on Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” pages 74-75.

Taking sad, drunk and fighting me
To show she was plenty
I was trying to put a story down

That night

Beautiful
in miserable somewhere
I dreaded the day

I felt

The rain and I

alone

Luckily came back

home.
