Lykeios
In Your Honor. Todd Jackson
.
Who,
but the God who strikes dead
shall be Physician?
Who, but He who strikes the living
down
shall be most beautiful?
Who, other than He whose name recalls
Destroyer
Shall be fit to battle with the
Furies?
Who else, God of prophecy,
But the very God who draws the
bow?
His Sister, and closest blood, the
Huntress.
His Son, who would revive the
slain.
So that when the God and Eros contest
before Daphne
That is Love-and
Death-contesting.
Yes. And poetry.
No wonder that He shines so.
