LIKE ORPHEUS



LIKE ORPHEUS


I whirled

with the lyre

held high.


Or, did I stop

half way and meditate

in sweat?


No. . . it was impulsive,

I didn’t pretend

to stumble

dance, or moan of deals

forever rigged. . .

just turned too soon

and with the spin’s

momentum, heard the lyre’s

dumb hum in wind devoid

again of song.


Why couldn’t I just

go on spinning

if I have to be so human?
