Lucky Thirteen

Thirteen

years, it takes

to become

a man.

…

Thirteen

were the men

whom lastly

dined in.

…

Even in myth,

thirteen

were the knights

of Avalon.

…

In Babylon,

thirteen constellations

they saw.

…

Even the augurs,

the magi, and the holi rest,

thirteen, 

they prophesied

as eternal law.

…

Thirteen is now,

when tyranny has fallen,

and all of us,

the dejected,

can go back

home.
