           wounds don’t ever heal

                  you just notice them less

            on good days, you forget they exist at all

             but, then comes that one word, that sight, 

      that   s o u n d   that brings the pain rushing back

                                    and you realize

                     you never truly stopped bleeding

                            you just stopped seeing it

disheveled braid, moonlight peeking through the shadows, the calm of
the forest at night, lying on the grass and staring at the stars, mother
doe and her fawn,
protecting their kin, the moon shimmering on a
still lake, quiver full of arrows resting against the bark of a tree,
running with wolves,
bonding while circled around a campfire, not being much of a people person, arrow hitting its target, popping egos, patience on 3%, touches heaven and returns howling

nimble fingers playing the strings of a violin, velvety singing voice
that haunts your dreams, mood as ever-changing as the sea, the roar of a
motorcycle, compass with a spinning arrow

Zeus:
thunder in their heart, running on coffee, flash of lightning, natural
charisma, eloquence, badass in a nice suit, aficionado of history, force
of nature, lenny face, pretends that they don’t have feelings but they do, nightmare-filled nights,
