    Summary

    Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.The Worm King’s Lullaby, Richard Siken

    Creon: Polynices was a rebel and a traitor, and you know it.
    Antigone: He was my brother.

    Antigone, Sophokles

     

    The rest of your mysteries she keeps well. While you perish from memories and your name melts away, she’ll know. She’ll always know.
    That’s the true horror of it all: you won’t ever leave her side, even as the world forgets you.
