To All You Explorers
the bitter in
me lost
a fight to
be the best
pleased all you
scholars
wrote the book
on capturing the
world
ended up with
one less ship
had to
call it a
day
before evolution
caught up with
us.
Love,
Muse

Memoir
and I said there
is a butterfly
inside me
holding on
to the edges of my veins
curled and furled
in the hope
that the right words
will water and grow it
that flutterbug
into a velvet book
shivering script
into prose
trembling to
form a mountain
Then.
sprouting
in the mouth
of the pretty beast
will be the Silver Song
of its own
secret sighing soul.
Love,
Muse
