Parting the Clouds

Parting the clouds, the impotent tongue Lashed futile and died in a misty mind mouth Whipped like a cur, submissions in granite On misfire pilgrimage, stumbling south Shall she, the muse, send and receive Or close her eyes and cease to believe? Parting the clouds, or any red sea Miracle made or drowned in full flowing fog Circular smiles or ramshackle thoughts Frog turned to prince, or prince turned to frog Must I, the scribe, tame both pen and ink Singing praise to the mythos that taught me to think?
