Hush, listen. Can’t you hear it?

Men knocking at the door, tunics soaked in blood,

mother shrieks, her body turns inward, 

spinning like a golden wheel. Flames grasp the rim of city 

with dirty palms, crunch of teeth on bone, a monster, a spirit, 

and, and… an invitation? A message? A challenge! 

Time for a boy to fix his running shoes, 

unsheathe a blade from behind the echo 

of his father’s eyes, feel the weight in his hand, 

take provisions from neighbors, travel underground, 

sail a ship, seal a promise, ask to be made not a boy, 

but a man. What if he were I?
