FPOTD: good mid-of night, my beautiful muses, living and imagined

~*for M. both

a living one, and

imagined, too*~

10/5/25

 

 

just woke up and began to work;

the muses are cofuse-ed

 

they think when head hits pillow.

it is there then the~moment to

refill my head

with verses glorious, alas, alack,

into the sub-subconscious furnace they go

to melt, meld or even die

 

iron of ironies; 90% of these words,

were adrift in my head when I

to bed, "for to be repaired" last night, and

only came to be recalled @ 2:34 am

when them muses and you guru,

woke me to 'get outta bed', and you

   who

bids me sleep,

this clashing arousal,

starts engine's cylinders to begin

live~composing, stoking and stroking,

to awake, create, reassemble and uncover

the poetic notions trans~versing my head

 

one-day, someday they will depart,

for cleaner, greener Champs-Élysées,

where reborn poets speak all languages

with equal fluency, eagerly awaiting

my spouting in Hindi (already ✅), in

Hebrew and any/all dialecticals this

god earth

ever mothered

 

And there you have it, my FPOTD, dear m.,

SUNday 10/5  & writ in the city where I am alive

in the Den of Writing, where the muses

like to hang out with their old companion,

until such time they will come to inhabit

a younger, well rested, equally restless,

 

a not-my-mine mind

First Poem of the Day

 

how this one came to be:

the tug of sleep versus the urgency to

create
