It's Been a While -

It's been a while. 

Creativity grounded. 
Dry, arid, sun-scorched, 
basking in blistering heat 
and too lazy to think. 

It's been a while. 

Vocabulary one vociferous 
now muted, silent, frozen 
in salacious space, 
and too lazy to write. 

It's been a while. 

What have I been thinking? 
Where do the words go? 
The cogs of composition 
lack fluency, fluidity - 

It's been a while 
 - but I'm back -
