Reader-Writer

As soon as I stop reading
Writing stops
Soon as I start reading
Writing begins

I am
The very first reader
Of everything I write
The writer and reader
As one — happening

No me reading
No me writing
Reading — writing
One movement —
Of reader-writer

I am
The first audience
Of every word I utter
Bringing it in being
Who but
The reader could write
Who but
The listener could speak

As the reader stops
So does the writer —
Like the dreamer
Being the dream, dreamer
Dreaming
