On writer’s block:

“Walk away. That might not be everyone’s tactic but when I get really stuck, sometimes you gotta just walk away.”

-Dan Levy to Iowa Universities, April 2021

I think this is good advice for a lot of things, not just writer’s block. Sometimes you just have to walk away, give it a minute and come back to it later.

I removed the knife
from my back

Oh, how satisfying
it would feel
to watch
your skin break,
to hear
your bones crack,
to paralyze
you
the way
you
paralyzed me;
to make you bleed.

Tempting

My grip loosened;
The blade fell;

Feet walking away

It’s better this way. Lonelier, but better
