solsti

You can have your equinoxes

cross-quarters.

The Solsti, days of extremes

Sun to Earth

Cardinal points of worth,

symbolic mining, enchaining

rock to sea

kinetic energy

displacing space and time

twixt ecstatic Saturn

and brother Moon, sublime.

Secreted in esoteric lore

a wealth of stories

everyday glories and

exotic songs

evoking ancient memories.

I dream a shining university

upon a sparkling hill.

If wisdom can save us from 

the illness of slavedom,

I will thy will be done.
