Susan Hawthorne #314 Muses in hiding


the Muses have gone into hiding
on the day after 11/9
they say it's no longer safe
this might be too paranoid
but they say they have seen it before
don't worry said the nice men
some six thousand years ago
everything will be fine
provided you stay polite
don't wind them up with your rituals
go along with this single god thing
what is one god against you
nine Muses and all your sister
goddesses everything will be fine

the Muses have retreated to the caves
the distant hills the hidden valleys
the underground bars
all the places invisible to men
they say they need to gather their strength
sing dance write poetry and songs
they need to gaze at the stars
retell their histories in prose and poetry
they will be performing their rituals
as the need arises and when the time is right
