(2013)
poem about how sometimes you really just can't force your poems out.
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
