the writing’s on the wall
I can be becoming lost for weeks
unable to release, foiled in creativity
even by my breath; unable to waltz
or twirl about as I promise myself
held by the very wall that materialises
precisely where I thought to move
again; because there is something
closer than my retinas which I cannot see,
I cannot see
because I am hanging on to a
last shred of dignity that makes me
blind that I cannot see the walls
at my toe before I swing my
foot to kick and I cannot see the walls
in my cranium before I blink
so
little
beauty
to stumble over, stood in inertia
no matter how busy I become
no matter how much I do
without looking; (it’s the writing
(no it’s the tidal lunge for vindication,
(no it’s the reminder, the reinforcement
that I am powerless))) in a pointless universe
in which I still want to be the hero
brandishing the latest sheaf of sublimity
(even if not on the rooftops waving
my genitals – see, see) so what do I do,
do I stop it all now and snap out of it
do I make myself sit for hours of
balming penance, do I slap my wrists
for wanting to publish; no, Mark,
here’s a pen and
here’s the line and
here’s the wall to write on
