Sugar Land

"Sugar Land"
Nine chains linked Six silver sextants measure their distance to Styx Two hands unwritten hold the Bee Keys tight in a guarded lap 1 chain missed He, revolutionary, breaks the black line and leans over The Great Unthought Through In full Light the shadows are burnt bright without fear she is kissed spontaneously In The Light Storm Electric Nothing is noticed anymore Nothing is missed Point of Singularity meets hip to hip in the slow dance heat Rome is burning Flames in a Light storm two mirrors merging In Sugar Land two mirrors meet Inside her Rome is burning (LadyLabyrinth/2019)

"Rome is not outside me, but inside me. Her feverish sweetness, her tragic countryside, her own beauty and harmony, all these are mine, for my thought and my work". Modigliani

true...xo....but, Hesiod personified Styx as the daughter of Oceanus and the mother of Emulation, Victory, Power, and Might; read that into the context of the poem, puts a different perspective on it...lol. But I agree with your comment Monsieur Parker.
