Hektor and Andromache
I think I'm just gonna let this one speak for itself, such as it is.
bold Hektor heckled her. within the walls.
her tears his baby beckoned forth.
within the hallowed walls. within and without.
the tempered fighters raged. with iron and
with bronze. between her tears the baby
wailed. what Hektor hurried on.
what Hektor. what spektor of doubt
haunted the hollow of the walls.
in the hollows of her wailing. hope.
she hopes to know despair. how Hektor
shocked. how wholly her dismissal.
of Hektor's valor. of baby's value.
how whole her resignation. wailing
within the walls. the wales within
her brow. without his helm. the babel-ing
displaced. from baby back to bride.
Andromache is bride. who wars
with men. in silence. men's cry
what tempers ironed bronze. what
Andromache. within the whollow walls.
would say. if she were war with men.
Andromache indifferent as the sunset
shone a pulsing star upon his helm.
the march of bold Andromache.
without the walls. from temples
to the waling men. he brow
enwrit with anger. know Andromache
to die complete. in else's arms.
