Myth
Thousands of years stacked upon themselves
A woman found her husband
Tangled with another
In the webbing of their sheets
In a vigorous despair she wandered
Through the streets
Through the city
Through the wilderness
To a lake
Where she found herself thirsting for salvation
She laid her face upon the water
And drank and drank
The emptiness of herself could not be extinguished
The water slithered slowly down
Until the soft underbelly of the earth met her lips
Minutes began to dissipate into the universe
The wilderness falling away until there was nothing
But the cracked skin of the earth.
She ran back
Back through the disintegrating flora,
Back through the city
Back through the streets
She found and dragged her husband
Back
To where the water used to slumber
Desert
She said
As you have desert me
For the thousands of manifestations that you
Have sought between the slick sheets.
She pointed, toward the horizon
Walk, dear husband
And weep into your hand
For this is the only water left
Stay, she said, stay
As unquenched as your loins
And let it be known
That all who possess your indecent ways
Marked, as the beasts that they are
They too, will harbor your name
“Promiscuous”
