stuckpoint

do you get stuck
sometimes I do

and how hard is it
to move away

though sometimes
I stay there for a while

a place of excuses
justified

yet maybe an honest break
is called for

and then a ridge or a wall
or other barrier

maybe not so tall
to cross

but must be overcome
to get back out again

ever feel this way
sometimes I do

and if I parse myself
and we can do this

then part of me might
stay here for a while

and so the rest of me performs
or tries at least out there

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.
