Untitled
I've wrapped ribbons 'round my Muses,
like one-thousand hangman's nooses,
tight and cruelly 'round the necks
of just as many martyred Queens.
But I have found my sweet solution
to overthrow this revolution
and do away with every stone,
each lover's cross, and guillotine--
I will untie my Muses' ribbons,
tell them their hearts are all forgiven,
and I won't write them one more word
of poetry.
