DODECATHYRA




I
Exiting dreams,
Hypnos gives way to Eos

II
Helios takes baton,
illuminating world

III
Eyes straining to discern,
one functioning,
limited sight,
endless vision

IV
Days in life,
currents in river,
leaving patterns,
revealing nuggets

V
Optimism,
fruit of balanced longevity,
cultivated at every turn,
fermenting life

VI
Life,
as function of travel,
feeding thirst and horizon

VII
Venue of residence,
shifting target

VIII
Assymetrical—
Critical thinking: thinking (?)
Well-read, informed: average ectoplasm

IX
Delenda est,
puppeteers rule;
Salt on earth,
mental wounds
X
Amorem et odium;
Colosseum, άρτος και θέαμα,
facade of civilized fair play

XI
Reaffirmation,
memories,
friendships,
wind in the sails

XII
Reflection,
past,
present,
pillars of foundation,
offspring bringing smile
to faces
