#12 - Through the Looking Glass


I started off thinking about Grendel and Beowulf, then ended up falling down an Oulipo rabbit hole...

The mirror proves a hero in us all,
reflection of an archetype within,
our psyche magnifies that quiet small
desiring to escape from mythic sin.
Then recklessness inflames and sets the beast
on every paradigm that we hold dear
the mirror cracks as hubris start to feast.

The mirror cracks, as hubris start to feast
on every paradigm that we hold dear,
then recklessness inflames and sets the beast
desiring to escape from mythic sin.
Our psyche magnifies that quiet small
reflection of an archetype within
the mirror proves a hero in us all.
