High

It's an art really

Having a blank canvas strung out in front of you

All of your supplies at your side

But where to start? 

Sometimes I start by cutting away the edges,

I'll have the central sculpture to work on, but often this leaves a mess

Other times I terminate the small tormented details first

Carving away intensifies my trip, but could leave me too strung out to finish

Or perhaps I could just do the big picture and get done more quickly 

No mess or chance of not finishing, but no pleasure with my finished product

I guess I'll take my chances of not finishing

I begin carving

Right in the center

There's warmth and pounding right under my scalpel

Immediately the rush goes to my brain

My mouth hanging open

I feel my dilating eyes

My swaying body

Euphoria
