Week 4: Obsession

Description: This poem is a minimalist meditation on creative identity, using repetition and circular structure to collapse the boundaries between art, life, and obsession. By turning these ideas over again and again, it suggests that creation is not separate from living but inseparable from it—that to make art is to be consumed by it, and to live fully is, in its own way, an act of art.
Reflection: Which line holds the most truth for you? What are you obsessed about at the moment? What can you create out of that obsession to bring more life, energy, and fulfillment to yourself and others?
