Give me a pandemic per year
To spend ardent hours under the sun
With Adele and Michele
Powerful time suspended never damaged
That I wish to be infinite as honey’s taste
Which I feel with them wrapped in gold
Rejecting the bile flaring me faint
Give me a virus a month
I want my kids close to me
To them I talk about music cinema art and horses
In exchange they teach me how to live and redeem
A respectable horseman wakes up at dawn
He gulps two raw eggs and a glass of red wine
He hurries to feed the beasts
His reign is between barn boxes and arena
The garden with roses and gardenias is off limits
Once he’s riding in the woods
He can sing Billy you’re so far away from home
Or thinking about Delphi and Pausania in the second century
When the real Greece had lapsed already
And the templar columns smashed down
Emperor Adriano himself sought the ancient splendor there
Pausania knew about the veneration of Rome
For Greece her thought her candor
Pausania follower of Erodoto
Great story-teller and traveller in Syria and Egypt
An ante-litteram Chatwin in Palestine and Campania
He venerates Homer a priori
Zeus was, is and will be
