meantime faculty follow charcoal rice
orpheus considerate bleary preserve deafening
orpheus bleary eyed
followed eurydice
at a considerate distance
to hades
meantime
needing all his faculties
and wits about him
he stuffed preserves
and charcoal rice in his ears
to block out the deafening wails
they almost made it out
like lot's wife
he looked back
game over
maybe they were related
Thanks for stopping by! Wow, this was well Wordled, especially your use of the word "preserve" and the tie-in between mythology and the Bible (or as we call it, the "other mythology," and yes, we are Christian!!) Great job. Amy
ReplyDeleteI agree brilliant use of the words! Great retelling of the myth as well!
