Old tales linger on,
keeping an endless narrative
of blossoming decay
as the gods join together
in laughing chorus;
their deafening whispers
vibrate through stagnant waters,
lapping together in growing waves,
crashing ashore,
pinning me against jagged rocks.

I wait to drown,
if only the gods would allow it.

They, who hold me
in the womb of eternal longing;
I cry for the path out
as they present it to me,
yet bind me at a distance,
chaining me in desperate solitude,
wishing against hope
for the strength
to engage them in open war.

Old tales linger on,
keeping an endless narrative
of blossoming decay
as the gods join together
in laughing chorus;
their deafening whispers
vibrate through stagnant waters,
lapping together in growing waves,
crashing ashore,
pinning me against jagged rocks.

I wait to drown,
if only the gods would allow it.

They, who hold me
in the womb of eternal longing;
I cry for the path out
as they present it to me,
yet bind me at a distance,
chaining me in desperate solitude,
wishing against hope
for the strength
to engage them in open war.
