Hermes


by Blue



God of thinnest feet who treads upon the edges

Divine and slyest son

of Olympos,

Smile like a knife-blade

Sharp and quick minnow-mind

He of glances, sidelong and sly—

Biggest dick who sits where the streets meet,

Silvery singing fey who slays with stories—

I string syllables while you criticize

Since no word can seize you in your entirety,

Realize your identity,

Beyond and between

And within reality.
