margin is not
a blizzard of words
obfuscating page’s landscape
with directionally-challenged winds
margin is not
some narcissistic lover
manipulating poor gas-lit partner
into unconditional surrender
margin is not
an adrenaline addict
over-crowding calendar squares
with meaningless engagements
margin is not
an anxious mind
fretting over fearful rhetoric
contrary to obvious truth
margin is not
a malnourished soul
scrolling electronic junkfood
with no appetite for beauty
margin is spacious living and gracious loving .

Yes, the margins is the negation, and sometimes tell you something more than the shadows around.

This is gorgeous! I especially resonate with; “margin is not an adrenaline addict over-crowding calendar squares with meaningless engagements.” 🩷🩷
