Diked Out

Sitting
here

in the emptiness
of thought

placing my pen
to paper
or my fingers
to the keys

a deafening silence erupts

a nauseating void

Nothing comes out.

My words
frozen in time
barricaded within
hedged
to the ceiling
of my brain

Diked
in the hallways
of everything I never said

My thoughts
 just sitting there
on an embankment

chilling

having nothing to say
