Mocking Muses

When words play cruel coquettes

and you're drawn to stubs

like puddle soaked cigarettes

the glacial hush snubs.     


Where is the tinder

for sonorous bonfires?

Pegasus' canter

sears what inspires.


It stills the inner ear

with apathy's drone

and the dumbshow vents clear

the muted chill of bone.
