Adrestia
April 21, 2018
walk by windows
mirroring smooth
skin notions
bright eyed
intentions
set
out
on
the world
to
be
seen
the little girl
in the waiting room
whispering
She is so pretty
the many men
long
in
the
sink your tooth
into her thigh
high
wasted
life
the doctor
betraying her own
mumbling
slurs
as
old
as the
profession
she proclaimed
she couldn't
she didn't
cannot
outrun
Adrestia
she catches
you every time
leaving
long
lines
hitting
you
square
between
the eyes
leaving
deep
gouges
of
want
and
worry
behind
Pass by windows
unseen
passed by
all
Based on the prompt to wrote a poem inspired by the myth of Narcissus
*Adrestia (Ancient Greek: Ἀδρήστεια) in Greek mythology 'she who cannot be escaped'
