The ink spills onto the page and becomes a river.
Tributaries branch out across several notepads,
soaking through outlines and spider diagrams,
manuscript versions one, two, three, four
final. Final Final. Final Final point one…
The river becomes so large it leaks into the ocean,
where a single bound volume
labelled DICTIONARY
floats to the top, raising its head
like a whale, defined on page 1894.
