The whistling winds shivering at the windows, like faraway waves kneading the shores of my
soul, lull me into fantasy and bliss. I dream
Then I write a
A word
Then I halt
I roll the pencil; I rub the rubber grip; I sense it between my fingers. I dot a period
I drop the rod and grab the mug
A hot Yerba Mate, tasting like fluid thin nectar. It slides slowly
through the curves of my tongue, and it dribbles down into my throat. I savor
The savor is in my tongue. My tongue, my thoughts, my tongue
I look at the white paper, it is empty
Only one word. I erase it
The Yerba is cold. Bitter
My tongue, my thoughts
I think of one hundred and fifty words
It is Thursday 10: 38 AM
I look through the window. I press the rod into the icy pond
I break it
Then I write
Then I breath

I didn't understand what 'the rod' was. Did you mean the pencil? Perhaps that could have been clearer.
You caught the moment of a writer, deliberating over their words, with style.
Thanks for the read
I look forward to reading more of your work.
