Greece has thrown white shadows
sown
their eyeballs with oblivion


A flock of stone
Gods
perched upon pedestals


A populace
of athlete lilies
of the galleries


scoop the facades of space
with spiral curves
of idol substance
in the silence


A colonnade
Apollo haunts Apollo
with the shade
of a lost hand
