Cloaked in white sheet of ghostly attitude, 
Ardith pretends to be the summer cloud 
that floats benignly over rolling hills, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of lost souls 
who would inhabit idols of dead gods, 
then gives everyone slice of honeyed bread. 

Deemed unfit for proud royal company, 
Ardith wears mask of the black albatross 
at parties in the London Underground, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of sad clowns 
who wear gray suits of strict accountancy 
as pirates of the global empire game. 

Amazed by strangeness of the multiverse, 
Ardith rides white horse on the carousel 
to leap timelines through variants of our world, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of mad seers 
who navigate political constraints 
to ensure victory of democracy. 

Amused by images of her false face 
reflected on mirror masks people wear, 
Ardith hosts party in the stately hall, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of gardeners 
who transform wilderness of shadowed woods 
to Garden of Eden where Josh plays god. 

Startled by his shy confession of love, 
Ardith stares at Josh with skeptical eyes 
to understand true nature of his being, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of mechanics 
who fix piston engines of cars and planes 
which are time machines that only move forward. 

Ignored by haughty elite of fine art, 
Ardith poses nude in art gallery 
to hide weird genius of analysis, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of blind painters 
who recreate ontology of truth 
vital to zeitgeist of our new world order. 

Astonished by wiles of Odysseus, 
Ardith weaves tapestry of world events 
that chronicle our second civil war, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of scared soldiers 
who weep when her brother Bob sings grim hymns 
about the second coming of Perun. 

Crowned our new World Goddess of Liberty, 
Ardith rides chariot of fire with four angels, 
pulled by six white horses of innocence, 
pregnant with forgotten dreams of brave mothers 
who teach children how to fight tyranny 
as comrades in State of Zarathia.
