Writer's Block

I've forgotten what it's like to
Hold the chisel in my hand and
Feel the weight of words in my fingers

I've forgotten what it's like to
Be so alive in a story that I can't
Leave the world I've just created
(Makes me believe in God again)

I've forgotten what it's like to
Taste the adjectives, feel the verbs
Persuade the nouns and coax the ellipses...
Into being from a conjurer's hat.

I've forgotten what it's like but
I will remember.
Soon.
