From the movie, "Midnight in Paris." I love that movie!!

Confronting the Veil

One step up

Two steps forward

Press against the veil

Dividing realities

Separate the drapes

Hesitant to step

Expectations high

Adventure to be sure

Blink against the light

Escaping through the fold

Glowing like the sun

Burning against the brain.

Listen for a clue

Cacophony of sound

Overwhelming confusion

Babel revisited

Press to gain entry

Heat searing the face

Access denied

No humans allowed

Writer’s Block

The words are right there,

on the tip of my tongue.

But try as I might,

the words just won’t come.

I’m stuck in a rut,

a glitch with no cure.

No rhymes to be found,

a brain cramp for sure.

What can be said

for a writer with no words?

Like a chef without spices,

it’s just for the birds

I need a sharp slap

to the back of my head.

But try as I might,

my brain is like lead.

Words oh words,

you’ve left me in a bind.

I’m truly convinced,

I’m losing my mind.

The greedy bastards!!

Is Spring just around the corner?  I ate dinner last night on the outside patio of The Habit in a short sleeve shirt.  What happened to El Nino and our winter??
