where milk cows chat with death on misty downs.

carves statue of Athena from my bones, 
so when I answer pain-extracting call 
I teach the art of song to demon stones.

The raven girl in chthonic vale of faith 
encodes our memories in global myth 
till weeping farmers worship sun-faced wraith 
whose soul vibrates from Martian monolith.

The raven girl in gnomic dream of fear 
explores beyond stone walls of paradise 
to learn art of rulership from the seer 
who judges truth through throwing of the dice.

as wise child who loves charting stars above 
while painting characters who play weird roles.

chooses to live as humble corn-field plower.
