None TodayA Poem by Steve KittellA long night of writers blockThere’ll be no daily
sonnet today. Thought has wandered
and gone astray. Nimble quill won’t dance
on parchment bare, seducing lonely on table near.
The well is dry from
which I must drink. Chair is empty were
journeys to think. No inky tears shed,
blotted or smeared. No blackened hands bloodied
and feared.
Letters scrambled all
over my mind. Their chosen order I
cannot find. Brittle wax puddle proves
candles death. The darkness swallows
my daylights breath.
Blindness shackles a
masked and heavy head. I shrink into an unwanted bed. Heart and soul content
for tomorrow. When ink, I hope,
once more will flow
The End
