Butchering maidens
on his tomb
the Greeks
let the shade of Achilles
in Hades
to drink their blood
and taste an echo
of the life
Apollo's arrow
had broken.
Then they sailed
off, to
shipwrecks and assassinations
and to sorceresses and cyclops
and so forth,
while the hungry shade
lingers in Hades hungering,
awaiting for cut arteries
to sprout red liquid
on his grave.
