Inexpressible

Muse of Calliope

I tried -and failed-

To comprehend the world

 

The secrets I hailed

Had not unfurled.

 

I slept- and woke-

Though some do not,

 

My spirit broke,

The mind forgot.

 

Attempts to express

The depths

Of these wordless thoughts

That run through my mind,


These rivers and draughts

Of uncertain design

 

Fall short of others’ attempts in kind.
