The Icarian Suite


In streams the warm sun
liquid gold rising
to fill the room
smoke curls from floor
from coverlet
from the hairs on my arms
too late, I move
to close the blinds

Imperishable


forensic analysis
of Olympus's peak
revealed nothing but fulgurite
and shattered amphoras
the next morning
aside from the corpses
of course
which vanished into the air
before they could be examined

Hades lets Cerberus do his business on Zeus' lawn


Wha?
A mountain, blocking my view?
no one does this
to the King of the Gods
     and gets away with it
lightning bolt time!
Zaappp!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
