Practical Mythology 4
[by S. David] [art by Michael Cheval]

So he nodded off
Drifted into
Light sleep
And dreams
Raced through
His mind
Hurrying
Scurrying
Before he woke
And she came
Springing full
Grown
Like Athena
More like Sin
Appealing
Temping
In and of
Herself
To be worshipped
And he built
A world
Around her
Vested powers
In her
Powers over
Himself
Though he
Was walking
Among Gods
Walking to her
In adoration
Shameless
Adoration
And he fell
Forward
Before her
Worshipped
Awoke
Refreshed
