Myth (for deverse Poetics-Photography of Totomai Martinez: Mood)


I am the myth
which holds
your sanity-

A lie which feeds
your loneliness

in stillborn promises never kept,
somedays in embryonic sleep
their birth never labored-

I am the myth
which chains me.

  1. I wonder if we all have myths which chain us....and whether each of us is our own myth.

    killer opening stanza...and i like how you build from there..
    and wrap back to it in the end...
