My Odyssey

My Odyssey Dear Penelope What’s the recipe? Unenveloped, we Long due therapy Missing precipe Love, Humble trooper

Dear Odysseus This oasis is Very spacious How oblivious Very hideous Not mysterious Very obvious They’re atrocious Come back soon Love, Patient black widow

Dear Telemachus Your soul mine revived Remembrance undyed Our strength, very tied Don’t waste it, my child Your guardians alive Love, Lost wanderer

Not a trojan’s carrier Nor a phone’s interior All of this to say Look beyond the barrier

Not a peacock’s dance Not a display trance Not a trip to France Improved a glance Not a ghosted pen Not a measly hen Now again, then Three, or a ten Monster den Ask, when Not now Here Dot

I tried to warn you Talk not be heard Now, who are you Where’s your bird

Brain glitch What do you see? Murder she wrote To any distraction itch I’m in my zone No rules apply Leave out your shoes Temple is nigh Death, nothing else shows On every screen In every scene What was the point?

You can come along But please beware The siren song is strong You leave all you belong You know no right from wrong There’s not an anchor here I used up my supply I painted red and dry You cannot be my lamp I risk no newer loss I lost all I can stand So nothing more is loss

Immortalized Written in stone I dare not forget That head tone

Am I doing too much or not enough The keys to birdie’s song’s so tough

Forced to stay awake What was my mistake What’s the end goal here Be a living proof cake

Cut the pieces, dozen I cannot be everywhere Take a piece and leave Sounds to you this fair?

Can I go to Athens? Lost my mind in there Bring it back unharmed If not, why would I care?

Was it you, skinwalker? Haunting all my dreams Turned me to sleepwalker Your light, no doubt it gleams

Wolverine’s just one man Packs are often twelve There’s a wolfish woman By the name of Bev

You fail in comparison Attention’s bait and hook Varieties within my region Everywhere I go, stop look

One two three checkmate We won’t finish at this rate There’s another layer now Oh look, checkers, integrate

Ran out of animal allegories Noteworthy, beastly stories How many pairs were there In a single ark, fan theories

I’m surrounded by eighty its Not a pharmacy in sight, it’s Go away and wax your ears Nothing for you in these pits

Rage quit life, no can do Dark is the night, what to do? Bright is the tunnel, not a view Train coming in, other way is too

Orchestrate a fall Watch it from afar Not for me, at all Signed, Your brightest star

Yes, this is very personal It’s for your eyes to see Who are you, in actual No, really, this a tree

Chaotic entropy Is where I like to be Somehow, negentropy Is leading me to sea

You upset them now, happy? Not a psycho-ish sappy

Dramatized for effect Not bad for an artifact

Retweak your jewels mechanism Uncork the bottle, red light prism

Double agent soldier cat Firing shots day and night Surely undeliberate, as stat Sincerely, A penguin that you could cite

Unrecognizable level of threat, over Retreat all ships and renew plan Over

Good soldier, established Ruler not needed anymore Call the architect instead He should know, for sure

Crow’s murder Suspects? You

Playground burned Toys unshared Death is here P.S. beware

I can’t see Please turn on the light Very far No, don’t jump out that window Where am I? A familiar scene No, it’s not Turn on the light Door knob’s slippery Key in sight? Who are you a waking knight Go to sleep No lights are needed

Forgetting vs. Remembering Grasp onto both, get none

Reshuffle decks New rules dropped

Matters of the heart Leave outside the door

Hunting for the bugs That was so long ago Now we run away Bravery Where did it go?

Preaching for long No one can hear A secret song Now loud and clear

Pettiness And pride too Clouds the eyes And hides the clues *
