I'm not a big fan of writing about writing, particularly about oneself writing; nor am I so big on the elemental symbols--water, fire, light, darkness and so on--being used unironically. But if you must do these things, know that Alejandra Pizarnik has done them better than you ever will:

"I cannot speak with my voice, so I speak with my voices."
"Before words can run out, something in the heart must die."

Section IV, 'The Possessed Among the Lilacs,' is truly wonderful. ( )
