 when you discover you have no more words to make a poem at this point your mind shuts down allows darkness in darkness that surges like your own blood but your bones still retain some memory of your lost words they are saved in the hollow of the bones themselves the bones spits and hawks for the longest time just long enough to recover the lost words presents them to the frustrated poet the poet is overjoyed writes a glowing poem about how his Muse came through for him Muse if bones could only speak but they can't so bones did something else developed rheumatoid arthritis so bad the poets hands were mangled and disfigured horribly he could think the words but he had acquired the rheumatoid arthritis so severely in his neck he could not speak the poet sat for many, many years waiting to die ©November 4, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton If they give you ruled paper write sideways. |
