Dead Ends

Dead Ends

Kathleen McNamara

Fragments of a myth
Shadows of a mystery
Tangled threads of a plot
Cliff hangers dangling on a bluff
Highways to adventure
Crashing into a wall
High and far and wide

In the middle...a door
That only swings out
Slowy, it creaks open
Just enough space
A few items tossed out

A mangled idea
A battered scene
A few characters,
Lost and confused
And a crumpled sheet of guidance

"If you want to get through the door
Give them a home"

Where is the Muse when you need her?
