Writer's Block

Okay bloggiefriends, there's a reason I've been neglecting you, and it's not because I spent Christmas in a place where the postal service runs faster than the internet.

This is the pattern:

I write a poem/story/drabble. I look at it. I either decide it's shit and file it away, or I think 'hmm, this isn't bad, I'll have to save it for my Srs Riting Biznes'

None of which works well for you blog readers. Sorry. But... BUT!! I had The Block the other day (well actually for several days, it's been tough since I finished my play really) and wrote this on the IPod on a bus into town. It's too drabbly to be a proper poem and too random to really do anything with so you all get some love! I promise I'll do you a bit more.

My lover is in Somethingshire. It is alright.

I will return. We will be together

Locked in our own bones, our skin.

Good thing too, lots of infections out there, lots of monsters

I mean people.

Besos, TK
