writers block -- unfinished

by Angela Thomas

i'm having writer's block. you know, the kind
where you start writing and suddenly the words
seem empty -- sucking mere drops of cola between
crushed ice and you end up taking more air than

substance. how am i supposed to justify this whirlwind
tour, a trip to the entire west coast of my country,
days spent meditating in the grand canyon and sleeping
away allergies in the desert heat of a border town,

wine poured, swirled, sipped, and spit. gourmet delights
dancing on my palate, words slipping into a dark, red rock
abyss like the leaves of a tree in fall floating to the ground.
they no more subsist floating in the air than they are on the ground

in a pile of mush.
