scraping
as if the words were being lifted
-- sanded? plucked? --
from my throat
dreaming of honeythick cooling
the silence of no demands
to listen -- no need to deliver --
hard swallow
abstraction interrupted
swollen glands
neglect
dregs
residue of words unused
tucked aside for some other
once the laundry's done dishes
after all the elsework
still
serving the sentence to be paid
scraping by

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
