Athena, Goddess


from the ABC set Yutka's poems

Athena , goddess, spread your mind
and throw your wisdom over me!

Look at me with your painted eyes
and bless my soul eternally!

I run from Momus, his big mouth
will hurt, I know, he shouts too loud.

With Kali I will speak and sleep,
her voice is magic, her friendship deep.

Yet dead will I lie, my name not recalled
as I never have found Mnemosyne's tree.

I will be drifting where ghosts go
in endless search for harmony.
