struggling with stuck
It’s in here,
it’s the only place it can be,
and it’s struggling to get out.
Out there is the blank paper,
the empty panel,
the unexposed negative.
The great nothing.
Which, left alone,
will continue to be,
for all eternity.
In here, it’s gushing.
But,
[like a 19th Century Texas farmer complaining of a sticky lawn]
what do I do with it?
How do I get it down?
I make marks
and hope to recognise
some signs of mine,
to guide me in.
Like leading lights
on a dark night.
