Inktober Day 29.
Lesson.

"I think the sirens in The Odyssey sang The Odyssey,

for there is nothing more seductive, more terrible,

than the story of our own life, the one we do not

want to hear and will do anything to listen to."

“Deconstruction” - Mary Ruefle

BROKEN SPOKE
By #MaryRuefle

You grow old.
You love everybody.
You forgive everyone.
You think: we are all leaves dragged along by a wheel.
Then comes a splendid spotted yellow one—ah, distinction!
And in that moment you are dragged under.

#MaryRuefle. She makes it look so easy, but of course it isn't - not to write poems with such depth, such heart.

DECONSTRUCTION
by #MaryRuefle

I think the sirens in #TheOdyssey sang #TheOdyssey, for there is nothing more seductive, more terrible, than the story of our own life, the one we do not want to hear and will do anything to listen to.

Purple sadness indeed.
