MY WRITERS’ BLOCK does not exist (or so I’ve been told); its name is the very 

pulse of this story, yearning to be unleashed from the confines of my churning 

 

chest — a  writhing  tangle  of  Medusa’s  serpents  itching  to  be  deployed. 

IT   CAN   BE    anything   it   so   desires:    a  peach-fuzzed   dream   hanging 

 

ripe  on  the  buckling  bough  of  a  faraway   tree   in  that  golden   hour—

waiting  to  be  plucked         just  beyond  the  window  of  my  imagination.
