Archeology - What The Stele Says Upon Taking A Much Younger Lover
for Karthik
How It Was I Came To Be What I Am - A Fable
for Spider Bottas
They would argue over tides
Who bade me come into the world.
One said, Six o'clock.
The other, No, twelve.
I was born at the thirteenth hour
All the while mother arguing,
apollo
i was born at sunrise
hence, i am named
after the sun
i am the servant
i give light
i give love
i light the path
for those around me
i am fierce in my burning
but cold in my ashes
hence, i am named
after the sun
i am the servant
i give light
i give love
i light the path
for those around me
i am fierce in my burning
but cold in my ashes
