Killing the Messenger
always been known as a dreamer
chase my fiery dreams
zealously
as if racing behind-
rabbit persona of hermes
flat-footed
i am
devoid of archal structure
i continue
further follow fastidiously
fleet-footed hermes
into his?
my?
fiery abyss-
scorches my epidermal layer
celestial skies-
deceivingly frigid
middle passage-
teaming with contradiction
no tale of three, supine mammals
and a
tow-headed goldilocks
is this?
this is herME's tale
is this?
our worlds will collide
as i
continue to chase
hermes
god of theft
who?
unabashedly steals
my dreams...
