In the Wake of the Maenads
by BrigidsBlest
Age Group: Adult
He lay strewn,
Rent,
Pieces scattered along
The Arcadian hillside,
Some of him over *here*,
Some of him over *there*--
(Rather like a Scarecrow,
taken apart by monkeys) --
Blood bubbling from his lips,
The light in his eyes gone.
God's son, nightinggale's voice,
Bereft.
Wandering, will-less,
Wife lost twice to darkness.
He walked with grief
Not even the music could allay.
He was warned--
They come!
Apollo's child would neither
Run nor hide,
Nor turn aside his way.
They came!
Bacchante, wine-wild,
God-maddened,
Joyous.
And so he lies,
Torn apart,
Lyre smashed, fingers broken--
Song stilled.
Solace at last, reunited
(On Death's dark, Stygian shore) ,
His shade searches, seeking
That tap on the shoulder,
And he turns with a soft smile:
"Eurydice..."
