Lot’s <strong>Wife</strong> • <strong>Edition</strong> Six<br />
From Sappho, with<br />
Longing<br />
Words by Eliot Walton<br />
Tell me, Eros Aphrodite<br />
tell of a complicated woman<br />
tell how she wandered and was lost<br />
when she wrecked the town of my heart<br />
tell me how Eros shook my mind<br />
like a mountain wind shaking the oak trees<br />
while she sat by me<br />
setting fire under my skin<br />
she is<br />
rare-radiant, starlike<br />
gold-crowned<br />
glorious<br />
singing by my loom and lyre<br />
Aphrodite, she is like the westwind<br />
which fills the sails<br />
and flattens the grass<br />
my songs, my loom<br />
all are hers<br />
if only her heart will take on wings<br />
and come to me<br />
