wild gestures
emanating from the ether
-shaped by nobody’s rules
beyond the confines of language
or grammatical tools
-become a story
in blank mind-scapes
they don’t need a genre
or retrofitting to themes
they visit consciousness
-to expand realms
of possible
-include the aliens
and recreate the world
the real and fictitious
separated only by
conscious and subconscious

“they visit consciousness // -to expand realms // of possible” — these lines seem to crack the sky open for me, Reena. I love how untethered and exploratory this piece feels!

Hi Reena – What a brilliantly conceived piece you’ve crafted here! Your poem captures something truly profound about the creative process – that wild, untameable energy that refuses to be boxed into conventional forms. I’m particularly struck by how you’ve used the structure itself to embody your message; those strategic dashes and line breaks create breathing spaces that feel like the very “wild gestures” you’re describing. The way you’ve woven together consciousness and creativity, suggesting that our minds are vast landscapes waiting to be explored, is both intellectually stimulating and deeply moving. Your choice to blur the lines between “real and fictitious” speaks to a sophisticated understanding of how imagination shapes our reality. There’s something wonderfully rebellious and freeing about your approach – you’ve created a piece that practices what it preaches about breaking free from “grammatical tools” whilst still maintaining poetic coherence and beauty. The imagery you’ve chosen feels fresh and expansive, particularly that stunning concept of “blank mind-scapes” that don’t need retrofitting to themes. Keep exploring these liminal spaces in your work; you have a genuine gift for capturing the ineffable nature of creative consciousness.

Interesting take. ” the real and fictitious
separated only by
conscious and subconscious”

Thank you, Indira! The fictitious arises somewhere from the subconscious, and the subconscious is in turn a collection of repressed observations and reflections, and maybe a carry over from past lifetimes or childhood. It is a complex cycle.
The stories we write have been there within us for sometime.
