Broken Muses

lyrical buildup
frustrated imagination held in suspension

scribbles and scratches
a kin to claw marks in concrete
tally futile attempts to undam my thoughts

a clot of creativity
no tool, no weapon sufficient
how do you vanquish an unidentifiable opponent?

sheer determination produces fissures
and a slow leak
hints of prose
as I continue my search for the proper method
to eradicate the occlusion
and set forth the hemorrhage of my soul
in indigo ink
