ossified with the tedium of being myself

all muscle of motivation slackened from the bone

I’m completely benumbed to the muse choking on the fumes of my effort

five long years five! I gave it one

it’s a curious thing to have the universe snatch the reins furiously held thinking right is the right way

as I sit here now before this hearth of change the flickering spark tells my soul there is more

my resistance rises as always this to the movement to the will

do I do it again or can I be quiet and live

does a butterfly emerge into transformed life only when we can see it

where are the hidden successions when they are not hung from the trees
