unserved

commentary

 

They came for

the feast of phrases,

gathered ‘round

the wordless flame.

 

Empty cups clinked,

unsated,

as the poet shrugged

—his muse unspoken.

 

There’s no story here,”

he muttered,

his mind

a drought-struck desert.

 

And so they sat,

grasping shadows,

a poem promised

but never served.
