How to write a poem?
With words stuck in my head
With flowers that won't bloom
With feelings that are blank
And experiences unlived

How to write a poem?
With a hand that won't move
With a pen that won't write
With a paper that can't stand
And a song that's flawed

How to write a poem?
If the universe laughs upon my flowers?
If the gaze turns me to stone?
Or the silence crushes me?
