Writer’s Block

She kept going in circles

Frustration bruising through

The underbelly

Of her pensive breaths

As her muddy footprints

Left behind blotches

Of grey matter

Over uneven cobblestones;

A too-often trodden path

Eclipsed in an inert silence

Now leading to nowhere

Without rescue

From the rising sludge

Of spilled ink
