Antithesis

by Aegis   Oct 12, 2017


You are Laelaps;
and I,
a Teumessian fox.

Both destined to fail but so dedicated to burning out,
knowing the gods will cast us to the heavens
to rescue us of our
paradoxical plight.

Our own celestial graves;
yours major and mine
minor.

But then,
you were always so good at shining.
