while in the museum

by Devon E Mattys

Antinoos, the one whose name I do not know,
You are my muse.
Through the bloody battles,
Greece and Rome,
Stories told to
Carry me home--
You shine forth as bright as new.
Though chipped and faded,
Worn are you--
To me you're as precious
As the day of Hadrian's deed.
You, unknowing, lifeless martyr,
You are my living muse.
