in a cotton slip, barefoot, giggling.

to the voices of the living. I like it,

especially when they fight, and when they sing. — Dorianne Laux

ERANNA TO SAPPHO
O You wild adept at throwing!
Like a spear by other things, I'd lain
there beside my next of kin. Your strain
flung me far. To where's beyond my knowing.

and I tremble like a supplication;
for the lovely goddess all creation
bowers in legend lives this life of mine.
