Call to Prayer - Zeta Puppis

With one eye, stare bleeding
At the woman beneath the water:
A dove between the rocks, torn
As a red sea beneath the earth.

Argo, twining many coils
Around the knives of Phrixus.
The Temple within, a blind prophet
Who warned: beware a single sandal.

In dark delirium, stillborn smoke,
The Giving within Her arms.
A serpent's tooth – recant, recede...
Burning ichor in the Aeon of Fire
