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.
 
Jocelyn Chaplin
