Ulysses

the faucet of winter

nothing comes out

mouth open in

frozen surprise

difficulties bark in the streets

laughter has closed the door

the lights are on

they are in there

Penelope has retired

to think about it

oh so many thoughts

while banquets rage

so many questions for me too

how to quantify

what I don’t yet know

life singing songs I can’t count

moscvo vechera and countless songs

that lie hidden

the late night waking

dialogs of lovers

these words urge viewing

as I sit a swallow

down from Lethe

drowning by the capful

or drowning on an island

of my own invention

trying to count

time lost track of

because the dialog of lovers

is my first and last theme

as shallow tries to save my shipwreck

and I drown there

because I am shallow

and it knows me like cousins

because I am still here

and the question rages

an afterthought of casual relation

should I risk the frothy sea

an imminent shipwreck

or sing tonight to Circe
