The Minerals of Dionysus and Minerva

As our Mythology trickled over
            the Rock of the Ages
            it became a filtered
            and babbling brook:
purified, refined, crystalline...

Only, unlike the babbler,
the minerals of wisdom--
that which made men from
            Dust
and formed women from
            Clay--
are but myths busted and
absent from the filth that fills us up.

From beings of light,
            to light beings;
            it is no wonder
            we cower in fright
when we discover the self lost

on the veldt of our Psyche.

I always thought that women were made from clay. I'm glad to see that I was right.
