Willfulness

 

Sometimes,

the Muse


            refuses


                             to be forced
                                         coerced
                             Led
                                 astray.


She

             Wants
    what She

                          Wants


No
    bending
                   Her WILL


No
    molding
                  Her
to
match
my
yen


                      Ahhh, no

   (emphatically, calmly, persistently)
                    She causes
          headstrong, hard-headed,
                      refractory
                           me
                     to acquire
                  comprehension

Meet Hades

             groveling

                   under that same weight Sisyphus shoves wretchedly upward


              suffering


                  eternally famished as Tantalus slathering the ground with my spittle until even that is gone


                  and, again, as he

                            further
                                   to madness
      driven by unending thirst
                             Parched
as
  the sere deadness surrounding

                           ***


She

little

for
   Negotiation
                  of Inspiration



Heh



who am i fooling here, exactly, save myself for the nonce ~ She
                                       leaves
                                               None


Abide by Her will i must
