the story of prometheus as a “love” story !
—
Martyrium
you sent your eagle to eat
every piece, besides the smallest crumb
because you know, with me
i can bounce back with just the smallest one
go ahead, let it repeat
sic it on me, come let it feed
i’ll unbecome the suffering
and show you just how much I find it fun
as the sun scorches on me
the sweat it beads, now that’s a rule of thumb
if only it could eat, my skin, then I’d be
too cold to even touch
the fire runs in me, I want to shine
I want to share it some
but you, like to keep me
a gemstone tile in your Martyrium
that looms over the tomb of your lifeless body
you once gave to love
I will stay within you, distant and bruised
honouring your blood
your sacrifice was blue, your soul’s a wound
that I will patch right up
so if I need to prove that I’m with you
send the eagle ‘till it’s done
smoky carbon
