Zeus, cloud-gatherer
gray-eyed Athena
many-talented Apollo
and Aphrodite from the sea
explain:
licks of hap luck
the ruck of brine wrecks
and my tack in time’s wrinkle
better than the War God of Sinai
or the Preacher of Peace
Therefore
the gods I choose not to believe in
remain:
well-meaning, intemperate Zeus
Athena who may or may not smile
Apollo of the dawn
and salt-scented, golden Aphrodite.
