This hero -
This bearded trickster, lover of a sorceress -
Bringer of death to the noble city -
You stroke your beard -
Speak honeyed words -
You listen, fastened by ropes, to sirens' songs -
Your wife unpicks the tapestry -
Your ship sails across wine dark seas -
Your story is heard even now, under a paler sun -
