Δευτέρα δεκατρείς The Kiss of Thirteen

(friggatriskaidekaphobia versus friggatriskaidekaphilia)
 
Good luck is bad luck, bad luck is good
Things don't always seem as they should  
Is baby Moon day really fair of face?
Friday's child is loving and giving?
Or is Friday's child full of woe?
Is a child born really even living?
Who is to know what one cannot know?
Who is to know what fate will bestow?
Μοῖραι, the Fata in your pure white robes
Must every star exist within it's Roche lobe
The light of the brain, the frontal hemisphere
light can bring darkness, bravery, fear
 
Máni the lunar tick burrowing in my skin
What could such a God find within?
A woman with a bushel A man with a pole?
The parasitic working the hole?  
 
Sin, with your blue beard of lazurite stone
En-zu, Lord of wisdom, with the moon as your throne
I ask you, who rides upon the winged bull  
Is a new moon not but a moon that is full?
Tell me, as you're within your house of joys!
As a creator of all things, are not all things but toys?
 
Soma, Lord of plants and vegetation
Chandra, is to know a violation?
Soma, lunar deity, dearest Juice!
What shall one bother to adduce?  
Are not all hands but lotus and club?
Beautiful terror from Tara your love!
Can not the benefic be horrific to you?  
Is not love pain? Can pain be cosmic too?
 
For grief is there no ultimate buffer?
From what I know is to suffer is to suffer!
To suffer is something one should eschew!
Is that not the wise thing to do?
There is always more than one way to end the week!
One should be wise in what ending one shall seek
So mote it be, let the lambs be slaughtered!
I guess then is not the time to turn wine into water!
Is a upper but a downer, a downer but an upper?
Should one be careful who they invite to a last supper?
One should be leery of of what end one seeks!
There is always more than one way to end the weak!

Judas, ha! What did you do?
Mary, dearest? Where are you?  

I know a benevolent devil would say!
One should celebrate every single day!
