Muse's 3am Visit by Babeth Lolarga

Between the soft silence
of midnight & & &
of early morning
the scintillating sounds

Unannounced
the muse descends.

On paper
ink spills.

In abrupt
disjointed rhythms

Pen moves
skeletons clanging

From a musty closet
leave, let loose
upon a world

unsuspecting.
