A Personal Titanomachy

Posted on January 6, 2021January 6, 2021 by Torrey

I don’t know if a god

wrought of another

can be killed

with brass knuckles

like those I wear in my dreams.
–

They are good only for bruising

and battering things.

They don’t draw blood,

at least not past the surface.
–

Just pooling it underneath,

like testaments to the future-

darker than you had hoped.
–

but perhaps,

a god as such

is only killed by the bruisings

afterall
–

The not quites and the failures

that are fine when you wake up.

Just sore spots to touch tenderly

throughout the day.
–

Ego blisters filled

with self-sung prayers to

heal your own heart
