I Don’t Want To Write This Week

I would say I’m tired
but that’s an understatement.

I’m bone-weary.
Yeah, that’s a better word.

I don’t doubt that you are, too. 

Big emotions have been out to play
for a while now,
and the air is heavy.

So. Damn. Heavy. 

I’m trying to find my footing,
but to be honest,
it’s been a struggle.

I think I just need to lay down.

I can’t even lift the paint brush right now
to colour any of these words.

And I certainly can’t position and spin them
into some beautiful takeaway. 

Sometimes it’s just hard
when the sky turns grey.
