(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.
