She said she was tired of supervising tides and poetry.  
Said every wolf's howl felt like a performance.  
Said lovers don’t write any more — they outsource.

She left a note carved into the back of a mirror:  
*“I was never a muse. You just needed a quiet thing to blame.”*

A committee of stars was formed to address the gap.

They meet fortnightly.  
Are undecided on the matter of metaphor.  
They keep getting distracted by their own light.
