Skllzrmy's Open Editions: The Hungering Muse

She leans where the lamplight fractures the floor, hollow of heaven, and hungering more. Eyes like a question, mouth like a thread— they pass her by, mistaking her dead.

A whisper of pigment, a flicker of bone, she sings through the silence, unseen, alone. Coins clatter cold on the altar of art, but none bear the weight of a listening heart.

She stitches her sorrows with raven-black thread, drapes them on walls for the dreamless and dead. Each frame is a famine, each sale a bruise— the withering hunger of the starving muse.
