By Corinth

Malthos, Ouranos, Thalassa

Evanescent beauties
Xenophon and Morpheus
polymaths both
Long steady walks on the plains by Corinth
instinctively alone
from Arcadia until Attica

Gentle hunger
even elsewhere am I, all the time
Uniquely simple
it is by the coast upon a heath
in varying shades of skin and sky
forever walking past the heather
like a spectre
forever boggling over a name
for the colour of the ocean by night
beneath overcast heavens

Itinerant Malthos
at Ouranos
by Thalassa.
