Oedipus: A New Chapter

The world was spinning

around and around and around

and it honestly, makes me dizzy thinking about it

thorns scraped my limbs

rocks imposed themselves upon my bones

one razor-sharp slab of granite sliced open my foot

blood flowing everywhere

suddenly i hit the flat ground

i saw the sheperd walking toward me

the world around me ceased

this morning i woke up 

the sun forced my eyelids open 

i recalled my dream but it was different now.

subconciously my hands reached down

grabbing my foot

rubbing the scar tissue 

"King Oedipus?"

I was being summoned.

I disregarded the strange feeling about the dream

little did i know it was not a dream,

it was a memory.
