the cassandra pages: Nov. 26 At a stoplight

Who was Cassandra?

In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.

Her violet vest --

she shifts violet bottles --

the salon window,

a shaft of glassy sunlight,

grey stone, shining clear blue sky.
