I Came To The End Of Another Long Day

I came to the end of another long day-
I was as silent as a poem I had been unable to write-

Tiredness, I hoped, would take my mind to a place beyond logical thought-

But I had no metaphors
To entertain with-

How many years
And how much less light will there be
Before I can write
Another true poem again?
