A Ulysses pact...
At the point of seemingly
no return, perforce
a catharsis sought;
with sirens circling,
a Ulysses pact:
taming a future
in advance; perchance
to safeguard some
nobler dream, to be
worthy of Nostos,
and Itháki's wreath...

An intriguing concept here, Holden. I had to do a bit of research, and I found this poem very interesting as always.
Thank you.
