Musically Uninspired

I'm going through a dry spell. Little has caught my ear for the past two years, and I'm wondering why. As far as I can tell, there are two root causes. The first, hormonal changes; the second, overexposure.

When nothing inspires you, it is hard to create. Maybe this is just an excuse, maybe not.

What am I doing in Germany?

I used to write gefühl poetry, an excess not easily forgiven.

So, Lord, what seed am i now - you know
the parable, fear always arose when
i heard it because i knew
the two possibilities, and now,
with thorns on every side,
and one crawling up my leg,
i wonder, is it a
a ruler or a picture.
