I will refer to them by names and by allusions.
I call them back from the underworld, demand they speak
and dredge up all their bitter deaths and betrayals and joys
and their sorrows most of all.

I will make myself an icon, standing on their shoulders
a thousand books on my back that show my terrible vast strength
(leviathan, goliath, titan)
my trojan horses bring thoughts in different faces, smuggling cargo
with the help of dead Greeks.
