when
will i get my
writing
back?

my churning out poem
after poem
of things
even i think
are gold?

my extended long poems
studying a single subject
until i learn
the poem wasn’t even about that
to begin with —
it was about some emotion
i’ve been feeling
but not identifying
for a while yet?

my ease
of writing poetry
every morning
without fail
without procrastination
without this trudge
through molasses
in my mind?

when?
when?
when?
