Hephaestus Lovenote

(Up) until the brain is no
Longer an anvil, made-sword
Cleaving the ledger

Of forgetfulness, the pages
Unfurling, curling at the clip
Of their texture, which

Is memory despised
By memory, which is
The heated spark

Of the hammering, and
The hiss of fatigue as
Book and blade wound

The water. Fish

Is the primal lip. Bull
Is the murder of
China. Twins are

The rumor that
Begins and ends
With itself, itself

A small story
Of Self's
Small
Self, polishing

It's steel
With
A rough

Zodiac
Of
Lack, and

A counting
Off

Of years....


(There is a happiness: An

Evenly-home
Spread
On
Chest

Like a
Hot

Snowfall. Heart

Beaten

Like a
Drum

By the thumb

Of an
Inner

Drummer, a

Runner

Who
Only
Takes

A single
Stride, that is

A single
Breath, some

Thing

Held in

To divide into

Rhythm...)

And you see that it is. And, often, it was."

Thank you very much! I'm sure I won't be gone for long though. kiss

Hephaestus is probably my favourite of the Greek gods because despite being less prominent or glamourous than some of his contemporaries, he represents a constant; (a rhythm, if you like) which is paradoxical, considering the group of deities with which he is associated are infamous for their petulant, changeable dispositions. He always seemed to be less egotistical or infantile (which are very human weaknesses) than Zeus, et al; therefore was more 'godlike' in my view.

I like 'Hephaestus Lovenote' very much, particularly the idea at very end:

A single
Breath, some

Thing

Held in

To divide into

Rhythm...)


Quite wonderful. smile
