Revelation

Nyx opened black arms threading her twilight fingers and cradled my awe to turn my hair, white she filled my eyes with stars firing a comet to the core of my heart my second breathe carved dragons of fire, as Aeolus filled each lung, Terpsikhore sang music into the life and death of this epic ~~~~~ I taste a southerly breeze catching it on the tip of my tongue rolling it into my lungs I sing appegio to throw a shadow of night the circle of her arms has tightened, and the nebula in my eyes, threaten to shoot from their sockets I have finally felt the meteor lodged in my heart, move in its longing for one last blaze of release, only the breath of God, holds for revelation ~~~~~ TERPSIKHORE (or Terpsichore) was one of the nine Mousai, the goddesses of music, song and dance. In late classical times --when the Muses were assigned specific literary and artistic spheres--Terpsikhore was named Muse of choral song and dancing, and represented with a plectrum and lyre. AIOLOS (or Aeolus) was the king of the winds who kept the stormy Anemoi Thuellai and Aellai locked away inside the hollow heart of the floating island of Aiolia. At the command of the gods he released these to wreck devastating storms. Since the Winds were often conceived of as horse-shaped spirits, Aiolos was titled Hippotades, "the reiner of horses," from the Greek hippos ("horse") and tadên ("reined in tightly").
