Id-Less Creatures

The Lotus Eaters 130


Daedalus holding out a hand
The torn foot
The elocutionary obsession

With toga and cloacca
Are not shit and death
One and the same?

Suppliant youth
Rushed to forgetting
Your Governor is gone

In the Valley -Telemachus 28

Burying the edges
Beyond the trampled bones
Saved from love
But given up to loneliness

The lean neck of the snail
The sums of stained dismay
The bed of ashes
The blind tongue

A poor soul gone to heaven
