November 25th

A pen uncapped to record loose, restless thoughts from many months; many moments missed.

Noxious permanent marker-fumes fountain from frustration-etched words. Pacing during the hours of sleep; the company of sleepwalkers.

Scent-summoned, signaled by sentence-scratching and scribbling, four crows gather. An eight-clawed perch of loyal, black-winged inspirers. For many months, for many missed moments, they have waited.

Patient, prepared.

(This is the revelation of my muse, muses.)
