Pandora's Legacy
Mind over matter
is the key
and so
with will of iron
Epimetheus
unwishes
the ills that she set free.
The world implodes
to fill an empty cask
tossed like flotsam
to a hostile sea
heavy lidded
sealed with sorrow
weighted with
unspoken words -
the water swallows…
Trembling from exertion
relief pervades
This day will unfold
like any other day,
tomorrow greet
with all the certitude
that dawn meets night
that dusk meets day.
Glass empties
smoke curls
climbs its way
into a leaden sky -
the world is saved.
