carrying water bottle
-----------camera
--------------heading down the hill towards
--------------------Athena
-----------------------sanctuary
beautiful pillars standing tall and imposing
------------requests contemplation
----------------meditation
15 minutes to get there
------------it’s a dry heat – 40 degrees
Satie plays in my head
------------single notes
-----------------simple chords
----------------------so full of prayer
glance at watch
------------must get back for bus
take pictures and start climbing
------------must run if I’m going to make it
It feels like a marathon
------------sweat runs down
-----------------head pounding with heat
----------------------should I hitchhike?
will Athena help?
the ancients didn’t have to catch a bus
they didn’t have Satie either.
