take matters of the heart
and put them in your hands,
in the end,
his story will remain the same.

that he did not choose you,

how do you put a price
on the thoughts in your head-

"What Odysseus does not know
will not hurt him,"
Penelope thinks,
each time she takes
another warrior man
into her bedroom.

By the time the sun
breaks the horizon,
all her knitting
has unraveled once again,
wrinkled in a corner
of the bed.

Penelope is smiling
because she missed him.

But what a man
don't know
won't hurt him.

first rate tragedies.

there is a light
that looks like fire

-but it does not hold heat-

we call it
the Sun
