Churn

Suffering makes you a churning cauldron.
That alone will not make you a writer.

It takes more than that.
Practice. Failure. Going at it again.

We all have enough suffering,
Twisted memories inside us,
To become a writer.
But not everyone can do it.

There’s luck as well as hard work.
You need a mix of that
Along with the pain

As you stare into the cauldron
And stir, stir, stir.
