Poetry: What is Muse?


What is muse?

Muse is a sinking in the gut
A rise tingling in the spine

Muse is brethren and motherin
And father lovin by inspirin
a cradle to crave delight’n

What makes us know our root’s truth in
What makes us want more of
What knows us better than we know,

What is our purest burning fire?
What is our opening clearest knowing?
Craving… fulfilled

our ways we’ve always been
our ways we always delight
Our truth as tree
our solid out of sunlight?
