Neolithic dead were frequently placed
in rivers, and floated down to the sea...

Sweet scent of autumn's flowers dying
with the shadows of leaves, and geese honking as the wind shapes directions

leaping from rock to cantering rock,
water circling, as I slipped, and fell
backwards toward the freezing sea,

Orpheus strummed his guitar, and
I drowned in illusion of being alive.


Orpheus In Hades
