from memphis to eleusis
found his place in harbor lighthouse,
after challenges underground
proved his worth more than stoic penis
wrapped in demeter’s poppies,
his light house
the only light he knew
had no lover to share,
so wished to discover others,
red mullet of extraordinary size
spoke to him of those that make love
on the beaches at night,
he was being called on to do
serapis whispered over pillows
into sleeping ears
keeping the light bright with oil
sent out that red mullet
scaled fish of land and sea
and it would return,
raising from the sea
with line and hook
secured the writhing eel
of couple snatched from sand
they became his lovers for the night
venting lust and sadism on both,
be it man man or woman love to be
extracted,
when done said his prayers to
the face of apis
tormented by pain,
then with surgical practice
cut them and fed them to the
mullet that sang,
the time would come
when fish and man would
indulge in passion,
his sperm food for the vitellogenesis
and his spawn
would find other oceans
to claim their own
