The broken mirror hides an ugly face.
Misgiven fortunes take thier toll.
Misinterpreted signals hide thier anger.

Ride on the back of the minotaur,
run from the snakes streaming from its mouth.

Mother dries her broken eyes ,
Father washes away his disgust.

A million stars look down on him,
thier eyes piercing his frail skin
driving stakes into his heart
tattooing his soul.

The man in the moon
reveals his disfigured faces
and forces the suns beauty into recluse
and ebbs away at the prophets forsight.

A legend is born.

Jesus dies upon his cross.
The safety pins in his hands,
have rusted and turned brittle.

Fire consumes the branches
of the tree of life
but Styx douses them and boils the black water.

The collage of the sky,
and its monochrome rainbow
beam down on Narcissus

The constellations project an image
of Cleopatras Asp
onto the minds of children.

The great Elephants tusks
pivot the Earth
on the head of a pin.

A Legend is born.
