The Process
For me, poetry strikes like lightning. Fiction, on the other hand, is pure toil. Sometimes, it's the toil of really great sex. Sometimes it's more like playing solo tag with Dick Butkus wearing a Minnesota Vikings uniform and covered in hot dogs. Sometimes you just get Dick, you know?

Magdelene


I gathered the waters of the Gesthamene
to wash your feet
I was your Magdelene
And there's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you

I followed you to the desert
I brushed away the pebbles with my hair
to move the stones away from your small feet
I was your Magdelene
And there's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you

When your mouth was dry
I put a wet cloth to your lips...
When you spent your thirtieth day in the wilderness
I was there...
And there's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you

And when they rolled the stone over you,
when they said you were gone and there wasn't anything that I could do,
Bare-souled I walked among your children and all the love you left behind
Like Magdelene I cried
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
