Like Prometheus

written by: Marta Compagnone

@martacompagnone

Like Prometheus,
we strive
to free ourselves
from the chains.
Like Prometheus,
we are tied to our stones
and
many fears eat our liver.
everyday.
Like Prometheus,
we are waiting for Hercules,
the hero that can break
this curse.
But he isn't arrived yet.
And our stones are bigger
Our chains are stronger
Our fears are deeper.

Doug Stanfield (Hemmingplay)

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
