Orpheus<br />

Why maenads<br />

torment Orpheus<br />

is that his songs<br />

need to be sung<br />

to attentive audiences,<br />

not little rapists—<br />

he’s always on<br />

the run these days,<br />

maenads hunt him<br />

down, unwind his<br />

parts, so that he’s<br />

too loose, a ball<br />

of rubber, who<br />

can’t front, body<br />

public, seed<br />

so much in the<br />

street that he’s<br />

more urchin<br />

than artist,<br />

they dice up his<br />

babies, it’s a never<br />

ending cycle, yet<br />

he keeps his<br />

lyre in tune,<br />

because (he thinks)<br />

who knows, he’s<br />

learned not to look<br />

back, and raps<br />

don’t reach him anymore—<br />
