Muse


narcissus was beautiful—the very definition of it

the gods spent ages on his eyes alone

where nymphs would stop and stare; 

as they’ve never seen a mélange so blue

but when your face reddens

head tilted, cheveux noués

you so deathly define “muse”

there i know,

if the gods spent ages on narcissus

they spent eons on you

my lips have not shut up since the last time we kissed

the sheer prospect has me stealing from prose

curled, tearshed , 3yes intact

their black lashes, matted, like yours
