The Twentieth Day

Call me up un-scalable Mount Parnassus
Draw me in with a song sung by a muse
Cast a net keep time with a timbrel drum
Dance the indolent

Break the form of Sapphic verse and universe
Dash it break it at the feet of gods
Be your own self utter only words that say
Smash the prevailing form

Shout the name of those at the summit peak
Laud their words and praise them continually
But be thy self and find a voice that suits just you
Sing your uniqueness
