Hyperion’s arms
Old myths have dominion over life choices.
darkness can be overcome
with the stealth of light
but healing forces abandon me.
cascading from the darkness of the past.
I fall into Hyperion’s arms
reciting an incantation for another God.
Charon greets me in the next life.
I flick the coin rested upon
lifeless eyes in his direction.
