(excerpt)
And others,
as of unquenched thirst,
victims of insatiable fairies,
stood by the river’s edge
as if forever rooted and
yearning for erotic apexes
with their palms and other
times with their mouths
they bend down to the ground.
And others just out of their sleep
as if tied in their sleep,
you could say they were coupling
wherever they happened to be
onto the barren breast of the earth
or on the softest grass and
they had bulrush branches
laid as beds and
rocks for pillows; and they
were by the river’s edge and
in shores and in trenches
as if embalmed bodies
as if undissolved corpses
delivered of their passions
and in their graves; and as if
they were travelling fatherly,
comradely next to
their benefactor Hades
towards the other, silent, life.
