there is something (at least to me)
deeply satisfying about emptying a pen,

they’re such transient objects,
it can be hard to hold onto one
long enough to drain every
word, correction and doodle
out of it

i just finished a pen
in the process of brainstorming,
and spared a moment to think
of all those things
(most of which will go
forever unremembered)
that it created before
its timely end
