The muse is so seductive - even in her absence.
I thought this was 'a-musing', C.

I kind of took the meaning of this poem from your first stanza: "drawing the juice of a dried berry", and sensed that your desire for creativity and writing is still alive and fertile inspite of..."silent is my tomb"....
If I read between the lines (always a precarious route) it's almost like you're experiencing a writers impass. Like, you crave to write, but can't catch the wind - so to speak.
Is that what you were trying to convey?? Anyway, that's what I read it as, and as such I think you shared your feelings most heartfully and brave.
Thanks for sharing.

There's one gone. now down to two. :D LOL, sorry, couldn't resist the inside joke there.
I find it very interesting that you decided against the rhyme scheme for this work, C.R.,yet can't help but notice that you seem to have incorporated it in your last stanza. Much like new lovers finding their own rythym perhaps?
