Writer's block?

Writer’s block?
lacking inspiration to write?
give a little time
give a little space

a bubble will rise
up through the mud of your mind,
crackling before it subsides
flooding your mind

with memories hidden in its cords,
your pen will run amok sliding.
Kafka says something like this:
don’t even leave your room

listen sitting before your PC.
don’t’ listen even, simply wait
don’t wait even, be still and solitary
words will come from memory

unasked, unexpected, no choice
rolling at your feet in ecstasy.

PS: Inspired by Ted Kooser's writings.
