the scent of softly burning lavender from the many sconces in the tunnel walls reminds you of the prayers that followed you into Hades. don’t turn around. keep going. have faith that she’ll follow.

you’ve been running for what feels like years, but you never seem to get out of breath. you cannot look behind you, you know you mustn’t, but she’s so close you can almost taste her. you bound toward the tiny sun that you know is the daylit mouth of the tunnel, dreaming of sharing maple sugar stars with your love, of running through the dew-cold grass, of building a bower of pine and marjoram and feverfew over her tired head. you dream of the days to come, where you’ll take up your lyre and play songs so beautiful she’ll die again of desire.

you can change your fate. it has to work. run.

ORPHEUS RUNNING is our candle that tells an OCTOBER story.
