Homage to Heinrich Heine (and a Tribute to Martin Amis)

DANG MUSE

Dead silence from that hustler.
Perhaps she's on a ghost ship
circling the moon. 
                  If ever she lands 
back here on earth, I'll tell you. 
And if she lands in storm-tossed seas  
where those who sail so often drown, 
I shall swim to her rescue,
dazzled by her blazing eyes,
braving waves too high, too stacked,    
seas too dark, too towering 
to save her,
            thus to drown 
in her unsalvageable service.
