bone dry on angst

i feel like i've been writing too
many fun
and happy, sarcastic, sardonic
and silly poems lately.
this worries me, being so content
almost happy.
i should really see my doctor
about this.
i need to write a sad poem.
a dark, bleak piece.
something that dredges up
the past, death and dying.
sickness.
something involving the pandemic
of love.
but i've got nothing, at the moment.
i need  a break up
or something.
divorce, betrayal.
something along those lines.
i need an angry client, or neighbor,
road rage.
i need an ex wife to show up
again and put me through a living
hell.
i'm empty on sad poems at the moment.
the well is bone dry
right now on angst.
maybe tomorrow.

Poems about poetry
are hard to pull off
some sad speaker going on
about nothing
waiting for a line that never moves
or ends
some rhythm that will sing
or dance or get up and
be
something more
than what it is
sitting on the blank page
empty, a void in a white
and dark sky.
