Once I was wild. Wild shall I be once again.
I was seduced into urbanity before I could discover better.
I was fabled before rings were.
I was legend before Leonidas was born.
I was epic before demons rode in the dawn sky.
I was myth before a sword awoke from a stolen rocky womb.
I was sentenced into darkness before Theseus found his foe.
I was killed before my home was scourged by western winds of war.
I was driven raving mad before dear Dot bounced off the cushioned walls.
( ( I ) )
I transgressed in sacred orchards to serve the folly of a hero.
I called on kings and deities to account for their misdeeds.
I died of humble fevers with craven whimpers on my lips.
I set off an outburst that echoed through the ages.
That outburst echoes still.
It shall echo evermore.
AS SHALL I.
I roamed the forests as I wished after Enlil starved the gods.
Once I was free. Free shall I be once again.
