Recall
Banished by Zeus’s jealous wife, Hera,
the lively Oread, Echo,
began to wander haplessly
into the mountain ranges
The depths of dark abysses
The doleful tunnels and
The abandoned mines,
The desolate caves,
valleys and ravines.
Lovelorn and pining
for her lost love, Narcissus,
the once loquacious Echo
could now recall only
the last shreds of
someone else's spoken words.
