IV
Logos is residing far from the
headmaster’s reasoning.
The untouched Kore smiles at
the breeze when the corn stalk
stands firm and blushes while the poet
throws his diaphanous love
to the four corners of the earth
identifying his brightest future.
Ecclesia’s leader dresses his thoughts
with heavenly perfumes and incenses
myriad names and terms for the
immovable turned into a commodity.
Ape’s mind is always up to a new task
and with appropriate fanfare
with all required zeal replaces
the ancient priestess with a new male
code of conduct and the free-spirited
became the slave of a malicious
system using methods always
decreed by the modern shaman.
