Housework vs the Springhill Mine Disaster

after Richard Brautigan

When I clean the house
it’s like a mine disaster.
I think of all the poems
trapped inside me

Writer’s Block vs the Chilean Mine Disaster

When you neglect your work
it’s like a mine disaster

I think of all the people
trapped inside you
