stricken with silence


another month of near silence
pen stuck in the mud of non-thought
journal writing is automatic
like the weather bound to change
in the mind of non-thought
staring off into somewhere else entirely
visualizing that place not quite sitting
but comfortable another month
a failure in the skeptical eyes
of the alter ego another month
of knowledge and self scrutiny
under the microscope and the eye
my own got to do it alone
no one is going to pick it up
and eye will have to make it fly
be it's wings at 33
turning up everywhere
and even here now as the fire
turns the room smoky
and water in a glass it would be
half full and rising
or falling depending on the day
the trees are stripped
to skeleton fingers outstretched
over the neighborhood tonight
it's still early...
