Poem

Fragments

I said I couldn’t write 
for I am an empty pen,
my ink wasted
on letters no one will read.
Torn, crumpled,
fed to the black hole
of a trash can.

Now I write of silence
Etching words into wood
For I have broken my vow with the papers
It isn’t determination,
nor delusion
just a moment,
a fragment that insists on staying.

And still, I write
not with ink,
but with the sharp edge
of a pen
long drained of stain.
