REPETITIONS, SECOND SERIES

Reminder

Why you want to dig into these things? (why, who’s fault is it,

         or whether it was this way or the other?)

 you don’t find the end of it. Always the same. Remember

         Pholus

the son of Silenus, that night with the vague moon, in

         his cave,

after the slaughter, he stood alone, surprised and wondering

as he was pulling each arrow from the side of each dead, “how

such an insignificant thing could eliminate these beautiful

and big bodies” And, suddenly, the arrow fell off his hand,

        pierced his foot and killed him.

And perhaps Hercules won’t be around to come for you and

bury you thus leaving your name tied to his name and with

his fourth deed, his most famous, the Erymanthian boar, and

have his image incised somewhere on an Attica vessel next to

the brainless Hero and the jar of Dionysus.
