not gonna beg the page for poetry

Bookmark

left hand holdin pen
suspended
over the carcass
of unwritten poetry
scratch marks still trapped
in my head
where nothin is landin right
coffee coolin
to the right of me
with steam ghostin
off the surface
like maybe
it knows somethin I don’t
stuck here

with the water quiet
and the words quieter
just me
and a blank page
each of us darin the other
to go first
waitin…
for a flash
a flare
a gleam
a flicker
somethin
that doesn’t feel
so fuckin empty
but all I have
is this stillness
untouched caffeine
and a pen
that doesn’t wanna bleed

    1. Never really believed in “writer’s block”. I think distraction is the greatest hindrance. Some might say it’s just emptiness waiting to be filled. I found the title intriguing and know that coffee steam ghost very well.
