Peplos

Athena wore one.
It was a garment,
A technology,

And an effort at beauty
By a beauty-obsessed ape.
It was also modesty.

Repeat: deity,
Technology, symmetry,
And modesty. Can you weave

These fateful threads together
So that the pattern tells me
What artificial means?

Life spun being into goals.
We spun living into souls.
