In Medias Res.

[PoorMonger]

The hero returns to & from the wilderness.
Bewildered by the consequence -
of romantic quests.
If he'd ever thought himself villainous
it was here and now, like this.
Odysseus – captured in knowing bliss.
The bed of the witch is warm-
A year in it is not so bad a sentence
if men are swine to begin with.

The hero circles back home at last.
Humbled by the subsequent
unromantic end.
If he'd ever learned a moral lesson
this was not how he'd imagine it.
Odysseus now murderous -
slaughters the lot of suitors.
Having proven his marital bed immovable -
he bonds with his father over bloody revenge.

The epic itself concludes upon a blessing
of the wronged parties forgetting.
