Venture
(an itinerary for when mind swirls,
journal jumbles; after Drew Gardner)
venture (n.)...a variant of adventure (n.)
Trusting honesty
moving toward form,
its buzzy rich sound,
its hands round what
heart feels and knows yet
not, trusting--trusting
honesty, moving
toward form
*From combined prompts: Freewrite as inspired by Drew Gardner’s “Five Essays”, from Lisa Freedman’s BreatheReadWrite, July 5, 2022.
