The Muse Remembers

 

 

Cold morning. Sunlight frosted on
the table, lingering like a prayer,
the ink drying in his pen before
he can finish writing her name.

They had never been lovers.

But years later, in Leningrad, ravaged,
when hope and paper had
run out, she burned her frenzied
lines into the margin of his journal.
