odysseus tricked me

Of course, I allowed it.

Who was to blame?
In the frigid winds of need
character is scoured.

Storm eyes don't repent.
They glisten wetly.
Serpent dripping,promising freedom
hissing freedom
come.

waves upon waves upon waves
freeze solid as
all time compressed to now,
to this moment
until I fell to my knees, begging
Athene's mercy to intervene.

I can forever remember this moment.
this now,
this instant
When
Odysseus
tricked me.

Of course he allowed it.
