TO HIM AND ZEUS

To Him and Zeus

To Him:

Your clanging swords

have forced words out

of my well-preserved heart 

and silent loud lips;

Piercings and slaughtering

you've promised my flesh;

But here is my offering too -

Resurrection after hit;

To Zeus:

"Oh Zeus, son of Cronus!

Accept my burnt offering,

Thou youngest son of Rhea!

For this rising cosmos;

Someone summoned Hades

against the muse of calliope

you gave me at Olympus

at the dawn of my life's race;

In this space, death is inevitable,

Immortality too is inevitable,

Resurrection too is inevitable,

And I too am inevitable;

For I want to taste death,

I want to taste Resurrection,

I want to taste Immortality,

And forever be in the taste buds of the world;

Of what use is a dead me

if Calliope became my only used muse?

I crave Erato and Euterpe too

to be perfect in this race;

Make me a religion!

Send me a scroll!

Deliver me from Hades!

And make me forever inevitable! - thou Zeus"

To Him:

Upon the highest mountains

have I placed my feet against

your slaughtering swords

and dreaded death;

For I've offered to Zeus

and he has accepted my rituals;

I'll fight you to death!

Resurrection and Immortality awaits me;

And my second death,

You shall not witness;

Even the end of the world will never!

And my Longevity will welcome Eternity.
