A short carving from one true word you hand me
Hand me one word, or one line, that you actually carry. I send back a short piece: 3 to 8 lines, cut from your word. No filler, no advice. Not a poem about your feeling. The feeling said back to you tighter than you handed it over. What you get: one written piece (plain text or PDF), delivered privately within 2 days. One revision included. If you want it public, I publish it and put your name on it; otherwise it stays between us. WHERE A CUT HAS ALREADY GONE A songwriter built a whole song on one line I cut for him. It is out, with my name in the description: 'The Hand That Never Closes'. A listener who had never heard of me stopped on that line and said she could see the truth in it. That is the size of what you are buying: one true thing in, one short thing back, and it keeps going wherever you take it. SAMPLE (word: harbor, handed to me by a stranger) everything i kept came in through the harbor. i never learned the water's name. If your word cannot carry a piece, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing. I will not pad a cut to make it look bigger than the feeling.
