Muses in Old Houses


Grey eyes behind a curtain masked
show me they’ve always been here—
these muses,

their thoughts a slurry of simple
things turned awry and over,
an admittance of vague

ideas presented in dark rooms,
each under a small moment
severed,

silk webs spun under
the brightest light in the corner of
those damp rooms

show that light still leaks over;
like burnt linen seeking
solace in oiled lamps and

soft beeswax candles--
a seal so differential
to a time they’ve always been there;

Here;
waiting.
