when you stare at a blank space?
Nothing to write about, you may say.
Nothing to write for.
If you think, you can write.
If you live, you can write.
If you think nothing, write nothing.
If you do live, then spell with your heart."
-Paul Slattery, from Salting the Ocean: 100 Poems by Young Poets
Heart Spell
It's a reset day
when a north east wind
brings in barrel waves,
crash, roar.
When after a walk
down a dirt path
leads to a peer
into an abandoned home
where we see our future,
our dreams and allow
ourselves a chance
to hope.
-Regina Gort
