I tell my students there is such a thing as “writer’s block,” and they should respect it. You shouldn’t write through it. It’s blocked because it ought to be blocked, because you haven’t got it right now.

- Toni Morrison

rhythm used to be a dancer
but is now lifeless and still

i walk her around the city

take her to the water

play her the music of my thoughts.

let her know that necrophilia is a negative

and await her re-awakening
