#103 Unwelcome Muse

courtesy Benjamin Earwicker


My inspiration left...
Left me with burnt out flecks
Flecks that exuded retreat
Retreating 
victim of war in the battle to find heat
Heat that was drained from cold faces
Faces claiming bodies
Bodies rearranged into people
Disgraces
Projecting outward personas
Mismatched to reality’s musty aroma
Unequipped to change their 
Vile ways
Though aging
Lips curled, 
wrinkling
preaching that 
taking flight
means you’re diseased
just
because 
They are still
Wingless doves trapped 
In unfortunate cages.



My Inspiration: Times Long Gone

#86 Blackbirds' Cries

courtesy: A. Gambrel


The blackbird have descended
through the winter’s heart
rending
noise
Slowly moving 
from crescendos
to frantic calls
.listen.
as they cry,
and shuffle through
the branches
.listen.
As they scratch
the ground
wondering if they can
advance beyond
The huddle 
where
all their calamity is kept
The huddle 
where
Calamity is strength
.look.
at how their flock rises up
blackened smoke
cutting across the sky
and though 
their feathery mist
eventually subsides
you are left
with the echoes
of their frantic cries.
