ode to a grecian myth.

Her unnaitanable body moves
the world of man to death
-Suzanne La Marre

she is like the light from the sun.
she yearns for men stronger than
her father;
adonis, apollo.

but she is unnaitanable.
her body moves like the light from the sun,
the life is one of tragic circumstances,
lost childhoods that never happened.

her body moves the world of men,
as she moves,
they watch her, and they wait.
they wait for the night,
when apollo has finished his work,
when she is no longer staring at the sky,
or thinking of her red-blooded men,
she can turn her thoughts to them,
they hope.

some hope for so long,
wait for so long,
for her and her body,
that it brings them to death.

oh aphrodite,
do not hate the men,
you have already stolen them away.
they did not take your childhood.
