Death of the Warrior

Chest
Penelope
Kaimakchalan
Death of the Warrior
(a picture from childhood)

Statue 1
Cockroaches
Rheumatism
Persephone


Soft and round like a ball
consumed with passion
(like tendrils of ivy)
she was twined
round weathered bodies of men

Instinct has entered deep in her womb

At the creation of the world
the gods doomed Penelope
to constant suppressed flame
to quench thirst with thirst

What did you do, wretched Odysseus?
Why did you have to plough the sea?
