ATHENA’S BOOK

WHOLE

we're sitting at the repair dock
Athena's feet dangling above oily water:

i unlocked the mystery to that which has no speech
& no physical form

that's where it all went wrong

when you see it you can't unsee it

try to unring a bell or unutter a spell

there's no exit & no place left to go

you've been swallowed
swallowed whole
