Where are the unwriting writers?
Maybe wetness numbles them
or are they being bombed by bad news in an unstoppable way
the lack of faith in human kind
the overage of drinks and smokes
may calm anxiety but drains the energy.
I recommend:
spend time with friends that are good for us
the consumption of fresh fruits
of those that will gush your hand with their juice when you bite them
a splash into the water with a bomb style jump
float in an inflatable while the sun hits you hard
smile to the clouds for a while
listen to your whole favorite cd (reading the songs lyrics)
All these to flood your mind with fresh ideas that eliminate
the toxic echoes of the last few days
Those, those of the most brutal capitalism,
the ones from the fusty right.

I think of you in me,
naked, embracing.
The caresses that are now deaf
and don't inhabit me.
And they don't touch you.
The groanings,
the pleasure I want to give you.
Shared with my essence,
filled with my own grief,
from before, from now,
from tears that shushes them.
Seeking to escape
without finding a way.
(From Rosagante)
