Caressed together by the waters of Corinth
Into the darkest forests chasing statuary nymphs
The decadence of Hellenistic love
Blissfully raining tears from above.
“The condo of the virgin” sitting empty
The goddess long dissolved into the néant
You softly reading Hebrew texts in Greek
The painful comedy of life on sale this week.

“The condo of the virgin” refers to the Parthenon, temple dedicated to Athena who was a virgin goddess.
of the green grass
Marble statues are dead
of the ancient gods.
And the song does not rise –
as the eagle of the seekers
Golden Fleece.
One child dies.

Κολχίς
They swell the buds of chestnut –
like a wave of a sea cave
with headwaters.
Enigmatic orange pierces
slow clouds.
And everything is so far away –
in the fog are the snow-white tops.
And even thrown sunny
fan –
do not wake up my blood.
Sinking like a root,
I contemplate,
the circle of stars, the sky,
because,
of the green grass
Marble statues are dead
of the ancient gods.
And the song does not rise –
as the eagle of the seekers
Golden Fleece.
One child dies.
