Χάρων is a nice fellow
by some gate
on the bank of a slow river
in the summer
his mouth
hints at
a sliver of
crisp mint
julep sweating on
the table next to my hand
occasionally a girl
between my lips
and the small body of
the city stretches
'round with
creeping dapples
of caressed heat
(and the slow bank of a long river is
waiting next to some gate i can hear
the boat creaking without weight and
all the darkness of forever at the backs
of my eyes.
