Rebirth of Eros |
Dark sun of some ancient sacrifice, |
Let your green-cool, coal-black piercing eyes |
Gorge through my unprotected heart, |
Burn in my unfolded flesh. |
Die again in me. |
Cry on the stones, cry on the sea, |
Cry for the lost boys, |
Of the vengeful furies' cause. |
Let me cradle your bones |
To enable your soul |
To come home. |
From out of the sea |
Where your mother was lost, |
Great Aphrodite. |
