a handful of muses

a handful of muses
i crushed
in my hands
i abused it
the privilege
that is
to use them
at my own
free will
will they be able
to disable my will
and find freedom
in something
they cannot distill
only time
will tell
so whisper
in my ear
and speak sincerely
i cannot
risk losing
a muse so dear
she won't
come twice
she won't
reappear.
