By the light of dawn,
I twist the words.
No longer letters,
but merely obscureds.
The opus was done,
such a long time ago.
Or was it just yesterday?
I no longer know.
Like breadcrumbs for pidgeons,
I toss the letters out.
Then try to stay strong,
and elude the blackhole of doubt.
Though in the end,
there's nothing to do;
but wait for the clock
to stop its backward skew.
I so miss the days,
when my characters were me,
instead of just hooks,
in a blood-stained query.

Bravo. I'm feeling the angst and the blood, sweat and tears along with it. I especially appreciated the pigeon metaphor today. I had a dream that agents were bunnies. Hopefully one of those pigeons will take your manuscript and fly with it.
