struck silent by Rachelle Howeit's been too long
since the words flowed
like they used to.
i was once able to
weave vivid pictures
with syllables and
punctuation
but all that has changed
since your nails dug into
my throat,
stealing my most prized posession:
my voice.

Posted by Anne Howe on 08/01/06 at 11:40 AM this little block of writing of the writers' block is just the cork popping - may the bubbly rise soon. |
