Aphrodite Will Catch Cold No.2
The wheat of Elysia is let go's sway--that
drops Aphrodite to her knees.
Where she watches sight spread around
her head, winnowing golden dancers.
No more that they may--they are, about
the girl that's never to go.
Yet goes, in search of the longer way that
brings her out.
Who is heard coming as silence to
silence, which turns over the horizon.
Aphrodite's heart feels as if it's doing a
headstand, with upside-down birds
emptying the contents of the world.
Where she lie, other than the world--
as the perceptor of real space.
She has a craving that expecting
mothers couldn't eureka-mouth together.
Perhaps her most significant
beautification, beginning to see what's
seen in her.
As Aphrodite says to herself: die a
moment, spring forward--after flowers.
I'm still needed, I must go back--how
many times have I done this?
