Athene Noctua

For the colour of the cave covered the day

Impeccable lights are here to stay.

 

The cry of crickets and the rivers running.

Mosquitos swarming the air -- buzzing.

 

The sirens singing their melodic trance,

Alluring sailors into their perishable dance.

 

For I beg, and I beg no more

Than the static sailor lying on the sea's door.

 

To live inside Zeus -- the creator of whole.

And sprang out with armour, facing my dole.

 

Not I will live inside his cavernous dwell.

Incarcerated in his eternal quell.

 

Athena -- It is I, the goddess of wisdom and war.

Unyielding every doubt and deride he swore.
