Red

A good muse never stays

she comes

in and out of your life

Knowing that if she stayed

she would risk becoming that which

she is offering you salvation from

You never know when she will come

to you

In the shower

In those final lucid thoughts

before sleep

or the front seat of a car

wanting you to take her

use her

devour her

Taking in every part of her

until both of you are spent

You must make the most of her

You never know when she will come

to you again

was 15 years younger.

Which equals

about my age.

However,

being married

my spouse is opposed

to my dating.

Even if I wasn’t married

I don’t run in Hollywood circles

where I might bump into her

at some swank party,

and actresses don’t accept offers for
