Moirae

I like to imagine 

the three sisters

the Moirae 

rolling dice on the 

table of the coffee shop

hanging with their spindle

their shears 

negligently laid 

beside their quad espresso

combat boots and 

ripped stockings and a 

little eyeliner left over 

from last night 

they make sure 

we live out our destiny

according to the laws

of the universe 

folding our path 

along the fate lines 

and there is no 

fighting these powers

of predestination

they will cause you to 

burn with hatred or desire 

or fall down the stairs 

or form inappropriate friendships

while they eat muffins and 

talk about their boyfriends 

because their will is greater 

than that of the gods

and they don’t

have any mercy.
