Oh muse, where did you go,
like a friend out into the cold?
It’s warmer now, no snow!
And we won’t have to be so bold.
Plus I have this pretty blank paper,
the pages are already numbered,

smiling as they welcome me
to their paradise . . . .
and I log it—
and next to the “land ho” I shout,
leads me to another white sandy beach,
where smiles reveal bright white teeth
that cut through skin as I scream in terror,
writhing in pain,
writing in pain,
trying desperately to climb
back into my boat,
and looking back
