we’re not making effective use
of the words given to us by all those dead greeks

Put on the toga, give up
the nudity and hide the sadness of flesh
behind linen

Become the philosophy that allows
a constant shattering of stone
into the pillars that hold up
the illicit edifice

What is piety?
Well, what would it be without the gods?

Where is the soul?
Where would it be if you had no body?

The words tatter into letters,
a dog barks

What is a dog?
Why is bark a verb, and noun?
What is the relationship between the meanings?

A man with large nose walks by
smiles at you,
what does it mean?

A bull in spain dies
upon the sword of a man
who has no idea about the minotaur

Whose life was more valuable?

Socrates has said nothing
it was all Plato

All Salvation was spoken
two thousand years ago
in Aramaic

why not Hebrew?
why not Latin?

He had dark hair
he was Jewish
why not greek?

Helios – the chariot?
The flame?
The God?

What is light?
What is holiness?

Where are the words to say
this idea that crushes the particles of air
between us, leaving something
more?
