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 my 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 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.
