Coming up in SERIAL THREE, LEGACY OF THE 42ND OLYMPIAD:
From THE SEVEN MUSES OF THE BOAT-MAKING DISTRICT 1
...And if I should ever give someone flowers again,
I hope to give them to Brotachos of Alkmena.
Because once when I brought him flowers, he put them
In a vase in the middle of his seven bronze muses,
And he closed his eyes and bent towards them, as if in prayer,
For a long time, and I saw two tears fall into the flowers.
Therefore, if I ever give him flowers again,
I hope their Aroma to be like a drug, unbounded by time.
Because we will sit together on his goatskin-covered
Couch, and look at a long scroll of Antimenidas' etchings.
And Brotachos will move his hand over all the parallel worlds curled
Up in there, making me want to fall asleep, and pick up exactly
Where I'd stopped in my dream, just as if I'd never left it.
And because I hope that when I wake, my head will be on
His shoulder, and his sleeping head will be resting
Lightly upon mine. And the scroll will still be open. - Megaklys, 4th Century BC.
