I hit a block

and didn't write a poem today
so here's one by Linda Pastan

There Are Poems

There are poems
that are never written,
that simply move across
the mind,
like skywriting
on a still day:
slowly the first word
drifts west,
the last letters dissolve
on the tongue,
and what is left
is the pure blue
of insight, without cloud
or comfort.
