Muse Waxing

O 
Heat!
Discord!
My mind splayed
As un-private pools  
Drifting full of littered life bits
Turned upward toward the sun, to develop naturally
Then evaporating back into my head as new thoughts, waiting for a finer point.

(part one) A woman looked in the palm of her hand and strangly saw a pentagram. at first she thought it was dirt. but when she tried to wash it off, no soap would work. she asked a freind, a familar face. what's the meaning of this abnormality? her friend with a look of shock; said "get that disease away from me!" latter that evening she went to his house demanding an apology why was he such a louse.he said to her a pentagram is a sign for the victom of a werewolf.
