SUBTERRANEA

By Emma Keun




Free me from 

Ropes of reason 

Let me swim 

Toward your Siren song 

I will dash myself 

Upon your rocks 

Break against your waves 

Bleed into your storm 

Embrace your undertow 

Swallow your sea 

I am no hero 

I have no golden prize 

Within my vessel 

No lover or loyal companion 

Will weep when I fail to return 

From your sunless depths 

The Gods do not watch over me
