• MY RUNAWAY MUSE
  
  It slipped away from me.
  You know it did.
  I wasn’t paying attention
  and my muse got bored.
  
  I am hoping
  that it will return
  once over its carousing
  from one holiday party to another
  each of which it attended
  without me.
  
  Perhaps I am fortunate.
  A pleasant beginning.

  No party.
  no hangover.
  
  When it comes back,
  to sleep it off,
  I imagine I may have to think
  
  softly.
