Pandora

Pandora is a goddess
of allure and grace.

A paradox.
Happy alone
animal curious
she released
genius of honor
and pleasure
Riches and gaming
(A pack of cards in her hand)
Taste and fashion
(Dressed as Harlequin)

Pandora opened the grave-jar
and virtue dissipated
quantum uncertain
Nescitur Ignescitur

Pandora closed the grave-jar
and hope, holding a flower -
was saved.

Pandora’s name tells the future
A siren singing us to sea

A theodicy of Eve

saving hope
