13 Lamat
Yellow Cosmic
Star
Klotho*- spin your
golden Thread
Upon the silver Star
At the Center of my
Forehead –
Open wide my virgin
Vein
With New Moon’s
Sickle – Scythe
Call forth the
Poetry to arise
Like Pegasus** from
Medusa***
Wingèd – beautiful and
wise.
*Klotho: The first of three Fates
or Moirae in Greek myth; she spins the thread of life.
**Pegasus: A white, winged steed
who sprang from the beheaded body of Medusa; patron of the Muses, goddesses of
art and poetry.
*** Medusa: A queen of ancient
Lydia whom the goddess Athena transformed into a serpent-haired Gorgon.
