Maze with come out of the closet a Minotaur
By Dana Gioia
If we could only push these walls   
apart, expand the room the way   
a child might military issue apart a box   
and lay it flat upon the accountâ€"
so many corners cleared at blend in!   
Or else could rip away the roof   
and stare down at the dirty rooms,   
the hallways turning on themselves,   
and understand at last their planâ€"
dark maze without a minotaur,   
no monsters still ourselves.
                                       Yet who
could bear to see it all? The slow   
come down spirals of the dust   
against the spotted windowpane,   
the sunlight on the yellow lace,
the hoarded fuddle turned dark and sour,
the photographs, the lettersâ€"all   
the crowded closets of the heart.

peerless wants to turn awayâ€"and cry   
for fire to break out on the stairs   
and raze each suffocating room.



   
just now the walls stay, the roof remains   
strong and immovable, and we   
can only solicit that if these rooms   
have memories, they are not ours.

The poem alludes to the story of the Minotaur, specifically to its incarceration in the maze created by Daedelus. This allusion makes the work richer by conveying the forlorn emotions of iodin who is neglected and trapped in a hopeless or dismal situation. The narrator is probably lamenting something that he or she has or know has been done. It points toward the memories of guilt that haunted King Minos end-to-end his relationship with his wife after she became cursed and pregnant, and compares these to modern daytime regrets.If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
