Hecuba Rising
Antigone's
shore lined fires
let the water
know where
to bleed fury
against the
forsaken
prophecies
rushing to Troy
willed to destroy
with vanity that
always falls
on the sword
running from it's tides
Cassandra and Helenus
tend the ravens
keep them hungry
as they piece back
Promethean liver
find the ample
suckle of Dawn
a few minutes
earlier than most
they curve time
slip between
the seams
and what seems
the wake peel
of dreams
and the surf crash
of what fates
a morning
a thousand
ship armada
righteous in anger
comes to sack
the walled city
fairest maiden and
her robber prince
stuck as Damocles
on his knees
for a beauty
that came with
a heavy price
of burn
and
slain
