Sometimes I coax her
promising much glory
or force her hand
until she writes for me
until the page is inked.
But reading back
its clear, within the captive Muse
there's never music
so must I wait, as though the Delphic
Oracle will speak
- afflatus [uh-fley-tuhs] inspiration; an impelling mental force acting from within or divine communication of knowledge.
