Poets &     philosopher-kings once
ruled &       queens were beautiful;
in the days of Gilgamesh in old
Babylonia,        women like Esther,
beauty queen to a woman;   Thetis,
Nereids & Cleopatra;  wild wanton
women who were also wise;
mothers of future stars;    daughters
of chaos &       his consort Nothing;
She who is daughter of All is All
