From an irrefrangible, harridan
We take refuge in an ancient wardrobe
In a Neverland with emerald walls,
A white rabbit offers innocent hope
Charmed by the halcyon
Ridding a Trojan rocking horse
We are caught in the quicksand of time
That commits us to the labors of Hercules
Gathering coins for the boatman

a butterfly, of a poem
deep threads, you pull at my friend
deep!
thanks for sharing
(love all your myth referencing, imagery
crossing time's borders
from one line to the next
I feel
James Joyce, would relate)
Wow I love this! I feel that boatman line refers to the trip made to the Underworld in Greek mythology in which you need to pay Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, a certain coin or else you're doomed to swim in the dark waters of the Styx for 100 years. From the title I feel that this could be an evolution from not relying on others to depending on yourself. Great job!
