Lakshmanavati ~ Wednesday, April 28, 2021

Intricate labyrinthine maze
no escape except to take flight

aerodynamic wax wings melt

Sunburnt kamikaze mission
tragedy glossed over in print
asinine laughter overwrought
temperamental, the son we smote
inane, empty, vain, foolish boy
ordinary flight turns the plot
narrative dive-bombs ocean depths

ordinary mind succumbs to
forces of nature, empty threats

tormented by love to comb through
history, plunge into a bay
examine the evidence, facts

Missing in all mythology
entwined skeins kindness kissed the snide
troublemaker, a cunning fox
riddled with curiosity
obsequious to none but hind

~ ~ ~

But a goddess
yes, cannot weep

Eyes dry as salt
zeal does not dash
reason to bits
as his death warps

Personae sold
on Olympus
until goats butt
not heads but past
denounced deshis
