shimmering face
dewy eyes
trembling lips
shivering thighs
toeing the edge;
the poverty line
devotion or obsession?
i need a sign

thrilling fall
death’s chase
spectating
his heart’s haste
rush to the drop
i go in your place
twin pools of red
a championless race

An altar erected  
in Athens commemorates
the spurned love of the metic
Timagoras,
                  who was rejected
by the young Athenian male
Meles; Upon hearing
of Timagoras'
declaration of love for him,
Meles had mockingly ordered
                         the older man
to hurl himself from the top
          of the tallest rock;
    But upon seeing Timagoras dead,    
                               Meles repented
    & threw himself
from the same rock
