the quiet turn
two hands
reach out
but cannot
connect
futility
up becomes
down
white turns
black
the arrow of
Odysseus
breaks upon
the axe head
the devil
whinces
what has left
us behind can
never be found
again

I like the precise imagery here that moves forward. The arrowhead for example - that lovely metaphor of the arrow never being able to be returned once it is shot. How some things just cannot be undone. Lovely.
As a reader, it makes us consider our own actions and reactions to things. The consequences are very real sometimes.
Thank you for sharing this, it was a lovely read.

I liked that you mention Odysseus and how his fate seemed to have been doomed by the gods for the longest time.
