OK, the birb kerfuffle outside my window is decidedly unhelpful to my already active avoidance of work...sigh.

Some days I just want to be a tree.
A tree has no worries.
A tree is free.

But trees are grounded.
They're forever tethered to the ground.
How is a tree free,
when it can be cut down?

I want to be a leaf.
And travel with the wind.
Fly so far away
And be completely skinned.

Stripped of the money I have.
Stripped of responsibility.
Stripped of who I'm supposed to be.
And just be me.

Phasing out this account so I can focus more on https://mastodon.social/@EricIndiana (I have way too many social media accounts now and I use them for too much procrastinating when I'm trying to get writing done.) So... please follow me on https://mastodon.social/@EricIndiana.
Thanks ❤️

sometimes letters become words that hold and reveal the perfect meaning as they form in strings that weave a web before me.

other times they are like dry stones in a dusty riverbed when it's been days since a drink

Goddamit, every time I sit down and try to write something, I'm drawing a blank.

All the more infuriating because when I go to bed, my brain conjures up all sorts of scenes and dialogue.
