Ink's Muse
by Odin Roark

The denseness of knowledge and imagination
is matched only by the opacity of tool,
atrophied at the bottom of its glass imprisonment,
the allusive weapon of the quiet
finds awakening at quill-tip's point.

Even as words serve but the surface
of her life's essence,
fluid resonance of language
remains eternally ready for liberation.

Ink's Muse.
Time's liquescent hourglass.
