I am
the muse’s road-kill
she ran across
my throat
until the words spilled.
I traced the letters on the crosswalk
with chalk
to contain
the evidence
but the judge found my claim
irrelevant
and provoked my creative license.
Since then,
not a moment of silence.
my muse
distorts
my views
with outmost violence,
she drains my soul
until there’s nothing left
and
words
fall
short
of
breath...

Powerful! Loved these lines that sum up the paralysis of the situation:

she drains my soul
until there’s nothing left
and
words
fall
short
of
breath...

having been in court lately for a friend..I could picture a judge telling you this...
I know, not meant to be funny...

I enjoyed it and your new picture.
