My Muse
("Stella Blue", 2023, original encaustic)
My Muse
“Does this work as a poem?”
I ask my muse washing dishes.
Yes, or no, she will say
Like an oracle at a spring
Without thought or deliberation
But with decisive tone
And either way
I’m back where I started
No better or worse
Clearer or confused
Back with the words
That began
As a spring
