“You are not just a crack”
There are rivers that still rage
Within the contours of our past
Held firm and in place
By so many fevered dams
Constructed out of faith
As much as desperation
Just one day to make it past
That there was no forever ending
Etched into our framework
And laid within the bedded rock
There are however fissures
Microcosms of all that we lacked
There are small and indelible
Fractures within our structure
That leave me forever in the open
To you and this moment
If not just a crack
It is not just a crack

It’s been way too long and I finally might have free time ahead with Hurricane Ida settling down. They just got the debris piles taken away a day or two ago in my neighborhood. A neighbor right across the street finally returned and gutted their house and put up their For Sale sign.
I hope all are well.
May you always find your smile.

Despite the cracks, the dams are still strong braving the rivers current that enraged. Show of ultimate strength displayed in this poem.

I am so out of practice, I figured dam-it, just write.

Yeah. My medication really killed my creativity sadly. I used to feel compelled to write everyday. I felt the words dancing in my mind and bursting at my seams until I expelled them. Now though these days I have to force myself to do it, it's a labor and a chore instead of a release and an excitement. It really fucked with my identity.

You have a notebook where you write down verses whenever they appear in your mind?
That can help, I think. And later you just merge them together. At least creativity which appears at random moments will not evaporate.
