Jam


Sometimes words don’t 
come so I
don my boots
and head upstream
looking for whatever
is jamming up
the flow logs
of pain limbs
of despair or
perhaps the wellspring
of my wellbeing
has run dry
there it is
rock of happiness
let loose from
its peaceful mountain
and lodged itself
at the mouth
do I dare
to dislodge it
to dislocate and
disturb or leave
it be I
and mine behind
