A Woman's Plight, Athena, Male Bonding, Myths & Legends

Embodiment

This is why the Goddess Herself
Had not married god nor mortal

For she had loved and lost
Bearing griefs of betrayal

But she did not become cynical
Although men have felt her Ire

No – instead she searched in scriptures
Heard in winds the Holy Ghost singing

Planted seeds for Trees of Tomorrow
Helping others find North in sorrow

She resigned her heart to solitary solace
Delighting in life’s colours and textures

Spun interwoven silk stories with spiders
Cajoled with Fates to ease human troubles

Only dreaming in innermost sanctum
Somehow a pure heart would awaken

Who’d be strong and wise enough to see
How the world was made for our eternity

And would love her as she would love He
While the Earth traveled peaceful galaxies

A Woman's Plight, The Accident - As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named "Clyde" (Short For Collide) Because It's Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense

The Great Escape

Don’t think about it
Identify the objects

Put on clothes
Tie up the hair

Turn on plants’ light
Grab stuff and leave

Without diverting
To tend animals

Without pausing
For conversation

Hold body in tight
Ignoring the pain

Screaming as you
Grab basic pain pills

And shamble quickly to
Rehab’s transportation

Squinting and flinching
As light sears into brain

A Woman's Plight, Male Bonding

Given

One of the suitors approached her gently and asked her to re-engage with him.

“I can’t. I’m sorry,” she replied immediately.

“But how can you know that he’ll come back for you? Don’t you think that’s too big of a risk to take while you are left here alone without answers, just waiting?”

“I know, I know the wayt this can go – but I can’t do anything other than to do what I’m doing, now that he lives inside of me.”

A Night’s Flying

She had brought her walking sticks, planning to keep head high and stature elegant – but in the rush to don final pieces and help get them all through the throngs to the ADA window, she’d forgotten them.

Yet, somehow, she found her legs were working in tandem as they carried her with careful, determined purpose, gliding and turning on heals as needed.

Her magic had arrived to support her.

Funny how when it was over, her body went back to being injured.

A Woman's Plight, Reclamation

You Fit Me

This is it, the place where the tears flow
I guess that’s when one can know again

When you find someone who’s heartbeat
Takes you where you’d not choose to go

If knew what was good for your survival
Where the bodies of broken dreams rot

In shadows of past potentials’ haunting
Tormented by disillusionment of lovers

Too toxic to remember their humanity
And that we’re here to reclaim destiny
