The FALL
Unseen in my descent.
A slight scar of light
Quickly absorbed by the night sky
I fell with only memories
Of that place of light and perfection
Blinding light, stifling perfection.
I fell in flames
towards the desperate disorder below.
Dionysos, bringer of ecstasy,
bloated by years of excess.
Once Beautiful.
Admired by all.
And powerful too.
Able to ensnare with his vines
As the dolphins who were once men can attest,
When they swim with grace and freedom.
Was that punishment?
Anyway, he is old now and knows better.
When he dreams, he dreams of his youth,
And swimming with the dolphins.
PAst Reconstructed
Don’t Listen to him
Tiptoe, we are safe while he sleeps
While he sleeps we are safe
I don’t know what I did!
All parents make mistakes
We listen from the next room.
To the sound of agonal breathing.
