Do you name your names, or are they self found?

Have you assigned a weight to your watercolors

a number for your symphony?  

 

Am I required to quantify thoughts that come to me 

randomly

obligated to defend where the muse resides? 

 

Is there a clock ticking, 

the whirls and clicks of creation 

humming, then stopping. 

 

Who measures 

Inspiration's half life? 

 

 

I come to you on bended knee

again

asking for an audience 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



———

I will lose the habit of using my body,  giving birth to a Prince Charming of verbs,

as the wolf loses the habit of being a wolf,  of hunger.
