She is heralded by
the barking of dogs ,
the triple moon goddess
Hecate , Diana or Lucina .

She wanders the Night ,
the crossroads
three ,
resplendent in moonlight ,
she is keeper of the keys .

In time of Dark Moon ,
through secret doorway ,
protected by
wolves ,
she walks with the dead ,

She wanders the Night .

Season of the Snake
on the mountains of the Moon .
We ride on the wind
like vagabond drifters and are
lovers of  inter-dimensional time

Across three civilisations
and tortured dark centuries in
between ,
from the reign of Queen
Hatshepsut
and in the time of Tiberius
Caesar
when Satan himself was
     delighted and then deceived .

We saw the Great Plague of  Vienna
in the year of our lord 1679 .
Then , slowly moving west
toward Paris and the eighteenth  century ,
we would lay dreaming
of hermetic clockwork and love.

But it was back in Old Vienna ,
surrounded by pestilence and
death ,
you became a being of light ,
in the Hospice of the Brothers
of the Holy Trinity ,
A pulsating emerald aurora ,
and I remembered how much  I loved you .
