Dimetor, Twice-Born

Written August 14th, 2020

I know who you are

I see what you've been through

I know what you went through


My father casts his eyes away,

Spending his days far away from any of us,

and when he returns,

he is not thrilled to be back


My mother does not feel like my mother

She bore me too quickly

A lightning bolt of beginnings

And she resents me for the crime of being born


My true mother is preoccupied

Far from me, she rests with death

breathing life into the spring, but only to those who deserve to see

I was never so worthy


I am not Dionysus, Bacchus, Liber, Zagreus,

but I do know what you have been through
