Delayed due to migraineʼs bitter curse, Fay Roberts explores Jupiter, the largest and oldest of the Classical Planets.
High winds above this bright and stormy night
sing shrill, warm hallelujahs to the king
who dwarfs the other monarchs in his might
and main, amassing wards in lieu of bling.
Wives and daughters, lovers, fools, and more
attend his majesty, the first to rise
and dedicate his thunder to the score
of all aoidoi laid upon the skies.
But kings should hear, as bards know best of all,
that hubris has a knack for bringing low
the mightiest, and even kings can fall
and break their pride on what they used for show.
When destiny contracts from near and far
you’ll either end up dust or as a star.
