Writer's Block

Cursor blinks
Disappears
Reappears
Awaiting the words to come
A white page blank
All energy put forth
Nothing surfaces
An idea
A spark
Fizzles
Embarrassment
Furrowed eyebrows

Backspace
Backspace
Backspace

Fingers slide atop keys
Back and forth
Up and down
Nothing
Metaphoric brick wall
Stress the mortar
