the novel

i must get back to the novel immediately
it will save me
it is the only thing that can save me
the place where i can be totally free
and enter the world of the imagination
and let it play out
the novel will heal me
if anything can
the novel will accept my love, my anger, my fear,
my wonder, my innocense
the novel will show me what the future can be
the novel will encourage me
