Forget Me Not
All the Myths are twisted.
Merlin warned King Arthur
of the Minotaur.
He had no need of twine-
his War Horse was Pegasus.
At the Labyrinth's end his Atomic Spear
pierced the Tauran Eye.
He had no thought of Camelot.
White wings lifted him
above the mushroom cloud–
through the purple gates-
to Satans' Den.
Merlin sat scowling at the Lady of the Lake -
Excalibur’s sheath had bloomed with
Forget - Me – Nots,
and Merlin's Crystal ball
was shrouded in a Nuclear Winter.
