@williamfdevault.bsky.socialnow there's a stanza emerging from the haze of madness and intensity. a baby poem, as it were. #poetrysky #booksky
on the nature of muses
you would not be my wife
so I make of you my life
leaving legacy to history
and the mystery of dreams.

What matters.
What doesn’t.
I stop explaining my boundaries.
Peace is worth guarding

Everything howls. It has no way to flourish.
The wild animal of ourselves, this learned condition
growls relentlessly."
