Pegasus, Constellated
Once bludgeoned,
I recalled a horse
the winged one - mythic Pegasus -
emerging from Medusa's blood.
Such purity from decadence,
redemption out of certain death.
In conquering this inward fight,
I stormed the darkness,
mastered flight,
ascending stronger through the night
to be these stars
your source
of light.
