Minotaur

I would have dropped bread crumbs,

or string, but the snorts of minotaurs

swirled my skirts, and I ran deeper still.

You can't hide from the hooves, they kick

gravel into glass slippers, and I crawled

with bloodied knees, not knowing the maze

would lead me, at last, to you.

I would dive through briar thickets

if I knew you'd kiss my wounds.

I've been twisted and dizzy, turning

in circles and squares, when around

the corner, you were always there.

See my wrist, love, reaching for you --

grab your girl and pull her through.
