The Fresh Waters of Crete
Catreus speaks of the lake in Crete
he speaks from a fools
perspective
his mouth is foolish and unwise
that these wisdoms are worded for those
who wish not to believe.
They say he stood in that hee took
the woman from the lake, after
she had cursed him, and all the salt
was taken from the lake
and the fishes changed their orm.
in reference to
"other gods, who have damned thee"
she spoke of the pups of these wolves,
those that seek my calf,
these puppies shall hear the voice of
Catreus,
and shall tremble before the ,
and howl at the moon.
Than the wolf shall
walk on his hid-legs to speak to men!"
Yet if the wolf ask's
are these the waters of Feminine?
how might I answer, that she has cursed thee!
Catreus, should stand in the River of
Feminie, to unsalt those waters
and change their fishes.
Crete is mine!
eat the flesh of the cattle,
and nurish on the bones of the swine.
Those in Athens are crazy!
