writing poems

it takes a lot of
frustrations,
a little inspiration
but more
of melancholic
clamor
for someone like
you to write
a poem
sometimes only
once a year
or nothing at all
not a poem
even
when they read it
or when
you read it
yourself

it is a matter
of just
surviving
less the poems
which you
could have
written

everyday in your
life.
