On the Road To Delphi
tourist, because of
the sacred bay
of corinth
is charged
with aluminum;
at the crossroads,
almost visible
oedipus waits
Have an offering ready
and a sacrafice
you may ask
one question
be spacific
the answer has always
been the same
look for it
among the broken stones
under your sandal
or in the unbroken light
of the mediterranes sky
and remember this:
virgins were said
to be unreliable
so they chose a priestess
a woman of certain age
by the moon
your flesh is the color
you are at that age now.
