Calliope is the muse of epic poetry




calliope calling

 

the plainclothes poet

  

resisting the line

 

reeled in

 

 

the sound of steam pipes

 

miles away

 

slightly warped in the higher register

 

 

carousel horses wheeling

 

 dipping kneeling

 

charging swerving

 

 

fire swallowed

and swords

 

the wonders of the world

 

 

Ferris rising above the fray

 

calliope calling

 

across the plain
