The Minotaur reference is fantastic for this - it lends and even stronger picture to the already compelling, desolate image of the last stanza. "In six nights/she was nocturnal" is an interesting and excellent beginning: I love that you affix a time period to this, making it just that much more tangible. "Prism-flected" is wonderful phrasing. This is a well-written and beautifully mind-sticking poem.

Alright, gotta say I love the last stanza of this. This image of a lonely Minotaur kinda made me say, aww, because it's so cute. I know it's not supposed to be cute, but you know? I can just see him standing there, looking sad. *pinches cheeks* Anyway, yes, enough of my silliness. This is beautiful and dark, and the last image of this girl and the minotaur just staring at these "subway-grate vapors" is just stuck in my head. Nice work. Keep writing! :)

"slumbering labyrinth", is excellent wording. I like the atmosphere of this greatly, kind of one acquainted with the night, but more raw and real. I also like the "Minotaur" reference, it gives this a uniqueness that the strolling would not have otherwise. Very well written. The scene created is gray-vivid, which is a great thing, because it speaks with the dilluted colors of the night. Well done. MD:77.

A wonderful incorporation of mythology in this piece. Some wonderful imagery and the last stanza is truly beautiful and very well found. You do have a way with words... Well done!

I'm always so impressed by your imagery : )

I like how you went for the mythical labyrinth idea

"She hopes not to meet the Minotaur,
but maybe he’s lonely, too."

That struck me as being very original, wondering what it would be like to hang out with a creature stuck inside the labyrinth, what his thoughts would be like.
