Thanks PRFSR for the enlightenment into the constellations and mythology. It was a challenging and fun course! Sprite
Andromeda! Copernicus! Lacertia! ... increments.
Queens, Goats, and Lizards rained before his eyes,
Flickering sparks of dying embers ... detritus,
All faltering, failing, without the wizard's guide.
The night's dismal agonies had distracted the galionji.
Ganymede's luscious grape had done no less.
His vessel was beset by the lamentations of banshees.
The seas roared in vicious mockery at his distress,
As the winds wept and the skies burned with Circe's sorcery.
The din of wailings pierced the distracted, drunken time,
Steering the mariner to the spellbound Isle of Dread.
The Dread Goddess drugged, then turned him into swine,
Devouring all the beauty's light, abysmal figurehead!
Dripping all the dead stars' dust throughout that ancient sty.
The galionji's nightmares increased nine-fold with this.
He waited for the scythe, for the unholy mistress of spells
To feast upon his barren flesh. He longed for silent seas,
Paterfamilias. Columba! Draco! Besiege this monstrous hell.
I bid thee, strike this siren down. I seek Aries. I seek relief!
The waters of deliverance were charmed. Eridanus sighed.
Rivers flowed. Death spewed into the underworld's well.
Golden Fleece. Dragon's Disease. Swans died.
As the roar of the falls brought dismal Dove call,
She brought harmony back to the black of the absent sky.
The galionji awoke with a start, his mind confused and lost.
The waves lapping softly against the hull comforted him.
The presence of the north star and the southern cross
A familiar deliverance to his soul. A passionate grin.
Aquarius! Pegasus! Sagittarius! I bow to thee ... breathless.

the galionji's dream
Constellation desolation as the stars fell from the sky.Andromeda! Copernicus! Lacertia! ... increments.
