Now it's summer we can go all the way out
To Saturn's orbit where the heat stretches
Into a blue immensity of light
Is it ignorance or bliss that reaches
A certain limit and collapses
On a thousand sunny beaches
The beauty of bodies by the sea
One sweltering afternoon we walked
While everyone slept in their cool stone houses
The silent empty streets of Samos
Whispering to one another about
The marvel of a doorway arch
Or a courtyard garden where
Pythagoras finally gave up
Preaching to the flowers
