Yes.
I be blank.
I have half written posts,
partial stories
and
writer's block.
I hate it
but it ain't like a toothpaste tube
where I can just squeeze some words out
and they just happen to be the perfect words.
I bought mouthwash today
at a mom y pop Mexican store,
no English needed,
very little understood,
so no words necessary
or even desired.
I sat at a stoplight
and had a silent conversation
with the house across the intersection,
she blinking her window panes at me
flirting across the pale pink blossoms of a crepe myrtle tree.
When I drove away she knew I was taken.
No words spoken.
No words needed.
I just slipped out the back, jack.
one of my favorite songs when I'm thinking things are hard
Great post...love the photo too! very cool processing!

ReplyDeleteI wish my writer's block sounded like yours.
