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.
