Allusion to Myth
Ω OMEGA Ω
Where did it come from
before my own existence,
gender not withstanding.
The freshly minted self
defied carbon dating
while shadows paced in circles,
recalling newborn legends
with old souls honing in on
piercing cries from birds of prey.
Remembering times of
desert seas alive with whales
becoming cliffs of bone
raised from trails of dust,
pulling down what was mine,
carried me 'till the next chase.
With nature's way, my DNA,
not the will of my pursuers,
their scratchings set in stele.
Unbowed, with instincts
through life's brief returns,
to stalk the self-proclaimed.
before my own existence,
gender not withstanding.
The freshly minted self
defied carbon dating
while shadows paced in circles,
recalling newborn legends
with old souls honing in on
piercing cries from birds of prey.
Remembering times of
desert seas alive with whales
becoming cliffs of bone
raised from trails of dust,
pulling down what was mine,
carried me 'till the next chase.
With nature's way, my DNA,
not the will of my pursuers,
their scratchings set in stele.
Unbowed, with instincts
through life's brief returns,
to stalk the self-proclaimed.
