This Cracked Rock

On these days when the sun hides before I lift my head from my laptop.

These days when every step carries deep thought and I’ve stared out of my balcony window so long I forget what I’m writing.

Or where I’m going. Or why the thing that’s on my mind is so important.

Because that thing on my mind is the only thing. That thing on my mind has taken over.

I have these days from time to time.

Nothing seems possible on these days. Everything feels pointless. Ambition has gone somewhere and is reaching back for hope.

Usually I’m a rock.
