I wish I could crawl back into the underground and sleep again
with my kindred, just for tonight, but I know this is forbidden.
I must respect their territory now, just as they must respect mine.
As Zeus respected Hades: Mount Olympus and the
Underworld co-existing in contrapuntal harmony.
I can’t stop thinking of those bones, though.
The wind carries a whisper and I imagine all
the names that might’ve belonged to them.
The moon is so high tonight.
Night smeared with neon scabs.
Every bright thing I eventually hate.
