Aquarius

ganymede –
handsome son of
a noble king and
humblest of herdsmen.

ganymede –
spotted from high
and amorously coveted by
the king of the gods.

ganymede –
spirited away from
the bosom of kith and kin
by an ethereal, regal bird.

ganymede –
resident of Olympus and
beloved by all he served as
cupbearer of the gods.

ganymede –
immortalized in heaven
upon his demise as a symbol of
the olympians’ undying love for this lad.
