Would my writing be different if I used the
perspectives of the roles I play everyday?
Would the darkness be less dark if I write
as a gardener among the newly planted
lavender or as a decorator in the newly
painted kitchen, or as a sparky wiring up
the new garage lighting. Surely the light
would help the darkness vanish, at least
briefly until the fuses start blowing.
Maybe the view of a builder would appeal,
core drilling for a new extractor fan, or an
adventure disassembling a shed, removing
fascia and then the crumbling roofing felt.
The spider nests hidden beneath the floor
boards would scare the sh1ts out of the
under-18s. Perhaps the metaphor of the
empty canvas in the corner of the room
would work, with new brushes waiting for
wear, paint in tubes long since used
in ernest. Would my writing be different
if I used the perspectives of the roles I
play? Probably, and one day I might
just take a stroll down that path.
