Under dark skies and Luna’s gaze
I pause, reflecting on my fate
for traitorous act condemned, to hold
the world of man upon my shoulders
I burn each day in Helios’ fire
to suffer Khione’s ire by night,
when men no longer think of us
power is lost for such as Zeus

dormant daggers are unsheathed
then thrust to the sun.

if not in himself, then through

watches white curtain approach,

From on high we hear
a shower, a melody,
of light, gilded rain,
seldom seen the skylark, who
soars aloft in tuneful voice

The tropical sun
beams down on the arid earth,
palm trees stand in lines,
joyful songs of the forest
become the drumbeat of tears.

brief lives extinguished by dawn
