This Moment

in the middle of the morning

usually 2 am, or 3 am, or 4am

the vortex opens

and pours all the creative stuff

into the world

if you are lucky

and at the right place

at the right time

you may catch a glimpse

of henry miller

or orson scott card,

sometimes dave barry,

and if you are really lucky

cormac mc Carthy or pearl S. buck.

Only a glimpse

of that strange and familiar place

hidden in

this moment
