Being mindful of sins
committed or to be committed,
this was the answer the Greek reminded us,
of our place,
Andromeda, dutiful daughter
followed her fate and found herself chained – waiting
Had she consulted the Oracle herself, would have found a
loophole in this story,
Rescue – double-edged sword
to free the path of confinement, danger or evil
from ourselves or from others,
rescue as
fate binds us to our path,
always waiting for the other shoe to drop,
these things are the stuff that mythos are made from,
tragedy and irony,
laughter and punishment,
As Andromeda find herself chained between a rock and a hard place,
so the saying goes,
waiting for deliverance
a swift stroke of a sword.
