i drew my bedroom curtain this morn' and scanned the outside world for inspiration. i'm stymied by writer's block, yet I bruise blank papers with my pen to craft the extraordinary out of the ordinary. my poetic ink is drying up, yet I feel this gnawing yen to keep scribbling, to keep taking the overlooked in nature and beautifying it; a leaf, a pebble, a crack here, an aperture there. i look for inspiration close to, or confined within my home, worthwhile moments, sounds, emotions that still gift my imagination wings to soar.
