Graphite Sweat
Lines before white
Sweat on a pencil
Fingers in hair
Graphite sweat
The first bold words
The first eraser marks
Insipiration not there
Graphite sweat
Apathetic lines
Heart pounding
Pencil slipping
Graphite sweat
Nothing to say
Nothing written
Clock is ticking
Graphite sweat
Panic moves the pen
Lines conquered
By sudden inspiration
Graphite sweat
