Another Modern Myth (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
Poor adonis, lift your head
Gaze upon this morning's ruinous ascent
Bring the fire into focus
Gasp, seethe, shout, and roar
Tear the veil from before you
Poor adonis, rage
Curse the fiction
Yank the dawn from its blazing heaven
Cower as it falls
What have you done?
What haven't you?
Oh but to act on pride
Challenge forgiveness
Poor adonis, weep
Curse the nightfall
For this is your own
A hell from faith
Where reckless perish thus
