creative genius of Greece, overflowing cup
intelligence to meet the whims of kings,
built palaces, sculptures and docks.
Pasiphae asked him for a heifer,
he did to perfection,
two eyes, a tail, four legs.
of the heifer and a wild bull, born
fierce minotaur and labyrinth Minos ordered,
infinity to eternity
also a fearsome threat of death.
Crete Daedalus abandoned to their fate,
in one of his dreams
Princess Ariane far sighted visions
and ordered the architect
that frame for eternity,
in a spiral disk
with signs in front and behind.
And again demonstrated his ingenuity and virtue.
sacred
The court accused him of murderer:
"You killed your nephew Talos"
He had to flee with his son to Crete.
In harrowing journey
his son fell into the sea and he ate it.
He had no time to weep and mourn;
married and lived Sikelia
spreading their own future.
Supreme ingenious artifice.
The plans drawn to perfection,
the eloquence of numbers,
the spring to meet the eyes of life,
everything was an innocent arrow in transit
dreams take shape in silent attempt to
lucidity and death.
