What makes a writer write?

Even When Fractured Endlessly
by Michael Romani

Motifs of wilderness and isolation
Provide the origin's ragged narration
These are the stories that keep company
Even when fractured endlessly

Repapered randomness may seem inane
But in its practice keeps the writer sane
There on the edge's of sanity's border
Are the things that keep oneself in order

Opened moments seek out their intervention
Somewhere in the overlap between life and invention
Depression lead to alcoholism followed by depression
Scraping by in his life's best impression

God takes care of the drunkard and the fool
And when He makes him a writer uses that tool
It lacks all sense of formal irony
Whether painted white or dressed in ebony

Diabolic urges often swell to overload
Leading to misadventures that beg to be told
Lingering in the loneliness of desperation
The fictional prose remains his only explanation
