WHISPERS
the face
that launched
a thousand ships
has sailed
and not in beauty
her grim departure
from recurring cancer
failed to interfere
with his sexual pleasure
which is something to ponder
besides Spinoza

MORE WHISPERS
he has
cannibal teeth
& sparkling eyes
but foiled by oblivion
lies eyeless
beneath the sand
had he
simply disappeared
no worms ... no flames
it would have eased
the matter
