Inspiration Goes Missing In Action
by M. Blake
It’ll always be abrupt the comedown,
Jarring him from the divine moments.
What he imagined
Sediment in the gutters of commerce,
Swept away by the efficient.
His special deliveries never arrive.

Bone-rattling, and this feeling of being cast out,
Of landing wherever.
Nowhere.

Collapsed puppet
Waiting for a kindly Gepetto
To rekindle his spirits with strong purple wine.

He’ll take a hand whenever he can get it.
An understanding smile
Sustains like food sometimes
When the day is too plain for magic
