picture a yellowish-gray
laid down beside a sea
that’s me my shell and I
beaten by the red waves
slowly encircling the sky
here in the land of Zeus
where the cult of the body
was born the perfect male
the perfect female form
whose destiny was not
the tourist trade before
Orpheus went off to Rome
leaving his Eurydice behind
a whole culture where color
and the cult of color was born
