Oh Octavian
Even your monuments are pocked
You never were that good looking
Is Clodia laughing now?
Reaching for cane
I see my face
lined and ruddy
Gravity 1, Skin 0
I grab my hat
and take the dog for a walk

His heart lost fibrous strength
As shadows ebbed and flowed
Long gone was his soul
Watching from the scoop of the moon
Worried no more
