The hand that feeds me, how it burns…
I want to feel the gentle rhythms of your breathing, and the warmth of your bare skin while I’m lying beside you.
I wish I wrote the way I thought
Obsessively
Incessantly
With maddening hunger
I’d write to the point of suffocation
I’d write myself into nervous breakdowns
Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles
Into abysmal nothing
And I’d write about you
A lot more
Than I should.
- Benedict Smith
You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. - Alan Alda
