perhaps sappho’s verse is in fragments
because someone at sometime redacted
all references to cum
this is not about bisexual discourse
it is also not about the migrant detention facility on lesbos
built above an abandoned military installation
forgotten bullets lie below like bodies
the soil secretes lead like civilisation
fragments feed the fire burn
the golden apples the still launching
ships burn the aegean in spilt oil
a civil war once lost may yet tear this
sea / sex / island / archipelago whole
(peace land bread)
what good is a cumming aphrodite
when she, like all gods we worship,
is only
marsmarsmarsmarsmarsmarsmarsmars
