i have been creating poetry out of not being able to write.

i have been thinking, thinking, scribbling down made up letters
about the block in my head

i have been sitting in gardens and shady bits of architecture,
lying on top of sheds and watching flowers bloom from above i
have been listening to melodies made of silk and sky and
feeling unstoppable heartbeats
and i have been thinking "i wish i could capture this," and at the same time, "i wish i could take this for granted."

i have been creating poetry out of not being able to write. there is water in my mind and the lack of feeling
is being turned into a tsunami
