Nothing new in the old plot today:
No warmth, no awe, no sprouts;
Nothing at all in
The dawn-gold orchard,
The ladder-high skies,
The dumb-today rock.
“Nothing will of nothing come…”
Is the whisper in my ear.
Nothing, indeed, from the
Dumb-today rock, the
Quiet, silver peaches of the moon.
Some days my elusive muse
Is a moody bitch-goddess vampire.
Sometimes I just don’t care.
