- Mythology by Caitlyn Siehl
- She holds her hair up with only
- two chopsticks and a bobby pin.
- Think Atlas. Think shoulders.
- When your sadness starts to feast,
- she carries the light down from the
- mountain and hands it to you,
- tells you to set it on fire.
- Think Prometheus. Think savior.
- On Sunday, she steps out of the shower
- and you don’t think you’ve ever seen
- anything more beautiful than the way
- she walks towards you with a towel
- on her head, water clinging to her
- like there is nowhere else it would rather be.
- Think Aphrodite. Think sea foam.
- You love her like mythology.
- You love her like the impossible stories
- of Gods and monsters.
- When she sings, think fairies.
- Think mermaids. Think hymns.
- She is the face of the river
- that Narcissus fell in love with,
- confusing hers for his own.
- She is Medusa’s fury,
- Athena’s strength,
- Achelois’ healing.
- You are kissing her in a crowded
- restaurant and it feels like praying.
- You are watching her
- instead of the meteor shower
- and you don’t even notice.
