Muse and Her Painter

New Poem: Muse's Magic

Muse’s Magic

across a continent

words reach me

and I take the plunge:

the light scratching sound of brush on wood

the delicate stroke of palette knife

to immortalize your gorgeous slinky legs

a phonograph

a pair of bongos

books on a dresser

in an undisclosed location with a view of the old gray square

not having met

(and god knows when)

free verse and blues transcend

through your poem (and other words) I am touched

my muse and collaborator

and friend.
