Myth is prison, a palace, truth without fact.

Myth is birth and pleasure, teeth and death,
sharp shiver of that which is broken.

Myth is patriarchal and worn, full of fratricide and rape.

Myth is a garden, makes good television, memoir, the scandal of animals and people coupling beneath the stars.

Myth is crow eating roadkill and dodging the occasional cars, a pile of guts and bones.

Myth is carrying the body back to den.

— Close your eyes and count to ten.
