Prometheus standing with a can
of gasoline
& the heat lightning overhead
warning of the lurking storm
already in progress
Everything is so dark now
his razor jawline
clenched tight
As he doused
his torch &
screamed
VOLUMES
Zeus never read
cautionary tales
or perhaps…//

This photo was merely a fit to match the Titan and the piece. I didn’t look further.

Whops. Well, now I feel foolish! You could’ve made up a story, and I would’ve bought it. 😂 It’s a good poem about fire. I feel bad about Prometheus getting his liver eaten on the daily, but cold waffles aren’t as tasty, so screw him. 🤣 Truthfully, I wrote mine after reading yours. Fwiw, thaaaank youuuuu!
