Musing at Eze








Eze perspectives          


Does she mean to be my Muse?
that sculpted earth goddess
wondering over my shoulder:
“Why is he turning his back
on the glory behind—the glory
that includes me turning my back
on the same glory to wonder
why he is turning his back on us both?”
Is that inspiration in the glance? 
Or condemnation? Or bemused
participation? And what is in
her hand dipping into that
suggestion of a pocket?
A hint? A hope?
Or a hard projectile 
about to be bounced, 
a wake-up call, 
off my cranium? 
We seem to be off to a
rocky start.
