story wavers
words shimmer
i reach but cannot grip
sense remains
sense prevails
i give up
words go back in single file
along the bleak marches
all the way back into
that dark country
of the unimagined
words shimmer
i reach but cannot grip
sense remains
sense prevails
i give up
words go back in single file
along the bleak marches
all the way back into
that dark country
of the unimagined

Don't beat yourself up about it. You'd identified the story but...
Pens are like cops. There's never one around when you need one.
At least I got a poem out of it!
Yes, you did. And not only that, but your report of where the words went when they deserted you should teach fresh ones to stick by you, unless they have some kind of bleak wish.
