so many bodies

in Spartacus' wake,
   his body never found
the historians say,
  six thousand men
crucified a horde of others
   dead, all along the banks
of the river Sale,
   in the High Sele Valley,
Nowhere was he found.
   His life a myth now.
His purpose also, a question mark,
    what his intent was ,
whether he tried to free enslaved people,
    or escape with his hoard into Gaul. His mission
and mistakes paint a vision..
