There it is torn to distraction from distraction Lying motionless inert incapable of flying with wet wings made of clay The furnace rages with Vulcan's lot to forge and craft objects which Distract and find us yearning for More Eating running grasping and gasping for air Turn To the bronze face that looks away And has always And will always Reach for one more Venus with delight And Saturn trapped tied bound with breathless feeble abandon Stronger than our will bending reeds The wind brings life and takes away the spoils we've kept Through Cronos' beard one million and one hairs to count While we were children staring the whole of it bright-eyed and open-mouthed Calling for the birds impervious to The broken glass below reflecting and refracting the light Into sharp rays that pierce the dark sleep Parents told us we must have when it rains cold and dark Pelting down with exaggerated force Vulcan sneers and puffs out a black cloud of smoke While Aetna sits quietly like an Ingres' Nude in a fascists house - my neighbour in fact Clean trimmed lawn nicely painted deck BBQ smoke emanating from the back The smell of roasting pork wafting through the halls up the stairs Venus calls but no answer echoes back through the cold mud-formed walls Only Juno's laugh fills the air and this Trojan Is thoroughly disturbed Though deaf he clings to his bronze shield and all it's detailing Calls him to stand up and fight the silent invisible secret lurking behind the countless blue boxes Cold shivering calls to Jove and Apollo playing dice on a cloud over the warm Aegean coasts Where fishermen sample their daily catch in vessels crafted from cold wet clay They didn't know but satisfactorily belched away the wind Spurning play for something else which we keep hidden forever behind our Pergamum Safe and sound so long as Ulyses is over there and we are over here We laugh to ourselves and eat saltless sacrificial meat Stolen from the enemy camp by Venus herself on the way to her husband's lair Hidden deep away from human reach below the Earth Atlas carries so diligently Silently shrugging occasionally waking us up to the birds' songs carried in the wind Rising up through my chest settling down on a farm just outside of Rome Where Hannibal was causing chaos as long as a hair your chin Eating elephant flanks and burning the fat at night Carthage laughed a blink and then Rome again cried to Juno Hannibal flanks limbs and entrails burning in the wind Among the gore once his troops that outshone the Sun Racing in his chariot didn't even look down at all the mess In the wet clay below Our citadel Our tower Our walls we raced through bare-footed when children Taunting Mercury Praising Venus Envying old Anchises Whom I envy still
