Muse Sick

the muse

doesn't 

play

often

hardly 
seldom
if at all. 

she's spurned by 

work, 

family,  
and lithium...

...or is it 
Prozac?

or Abilify?

or some other

planted palm full

of generics?

   
when she lurks

out of mind

I feel 

hopeless,

lost
from creation.
empty.
 

most say 
it's simply 
age,

but she was...

...just here.

(damn)
