heroics



heroics

no i don’t want the job
two decades & all those close calls
you’re kidding
detained by the queenly nymph Kalypso
as Lattimore translates     sound cozy
think it over
here’s the half hollow sound
of a windblown cold drinks can
rolling along the street
how long’s it been

  1. Concise, punchy...and I agree. My kind of thing, although I don’t/can’t write like you, As a reader, a fan.
    Have a pleasant day. Hope you have some air in Barcelona. Here, in Toulouse, it’s sweltering hot 🥵. ....again after two blissful days of respite (cloudy, 24 and 28 degrees.) As the French say...< Marches a l’Ombre >
