It takes a lot to get me to start writing again

“The Destination Isn’t Much Better” (2011)

Standing in the way.
Sitting on the floor:
Palms up,
Head down.

Standing in the way;
Lying in bed.
Face up,
Eyes open.

Standing in the way
In front of an over-eager traveler
On a road to disappointment,
Carried by best intentions.

Standing in the way,
I could never feel
More like a heartbreaking
Bastard.
