November Poems 15

Writer's (head on the) Block

The writer pauses on the page
what should her heroine do next?
give the man an honest wage
or stand her ground and make him vexed?
He's dug the grave as she requested
with each spadeful she has wept.
Upon the hearse, the coffins wrested
from the crypt where they have slept.
The worker's waiting for his coins
should she ask a lighter price
or offer him her naked loins
or with her dagger slice and dice?

should the writer leave the banging
or end the verse and leave them
