To Be a Muse
What does it mean-
to be the inspiration-
to be the Muse?
Does it mean
listening?
Second hour devotion
to an art
a living-dieing art!-
Perhaps a simple devotion?
Not the kind that was wanted-
but needed-
find it from someone else.-
A beauty to pass the time?
To boost the ego-
always to boost the ego-
To love?...
To listen with admiration-
to be devoted to a single cause-
A man;
a living-dieing man!
Call to us your Muses nine-
Call to me your Muse-
but one.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
