The Muse If I show her the least attention She blackens out the prose Her hold on me so total Forever in the throes Of what her gift requires And loyalty demands Where every night she visits My dreams — at her command *** Moments I Treasure Embracing simplicity days get short Words cut deeper vague meanings defined Minutes leaving moments to treasure Twilight in focus — forever unwinds *** Uncertainty Cries Time the great impostor Hides in every doubt and scheme Whispering lies when uncertainty cries Poisoning hope — invading our dreams *** Less Is More Would you trade your steak for salad returning as before Before the fame betrayed you before the moneyed tour How spartan could you pivot free of fortune’s weight That riches cast upon you and left you in this state How much praise and false attention would you happily give up To shed the gilded moments and fill each empty cup But maybe all the better to clasp your hands in prayer Beseeching what is missing from The One — who’s always there *** Excuses Befriend A thousand ways to lose only one way to win The track lined with losers excuses befriend What could have then happened what should have come true Lost forever to history defeat — in review (Montreal Grand Prix: May, 2026)
