Poetry Drafts / 20 December 2022

I purge true meaning from my mind,
seeking only truth in the empty page,
the white, the red, and the yellow
pages like yellow snow, red herrings
and pure innocence; stories
told to guide and lead
towards writings less truthful,
less sincere, less divine
than the scriptures quoted
in a Sunday school quire.
I purge true meaning from my mind
as my quill kiss my parchment.
