The fall of Troy
Everyone has lost their eyes,
sockets smooth as ancient Greek sculpture,
and, like that art,
they’ve lost their arms as well.
sockets smooth as ancient Greek sculpture,
and, like that art,
they’ve lost their arms as well.
Over the grind of years
their color is worn off of them:
beautiful bleached bellies and
their color is worn off of them:
beautiful bleached bellies and
pulverized pudenda.
Forgotten that they were once
Forgotten that they were once
meant to be gods,
they feel their brokenness
and lose all of Homer
but his disability.
they feel their brokenness
and lose all of Homer
but his disability.
