It's Still Life

Myth and Mythology

we live in his mythology,
his bread. our butter
spread thinner.

a safer world by his myth.
but myths
need memory.
kneading.

daily, another mythology.
by morning —
forgotten.

hands, praise.
hands wring.

‘what am I supposed to do?’
about this man
who might be Nero.
