Poem for Sol
by George Caffentzis
Thebes is nothing like you envisioned it, Sol.
I barely noticed the train passed it.
And you are nothing like I envisioned you
After death.
Thebes is now a small town in a plain of wheat and grapes;
The IMF of Tirisias’ time or of ours would think nothing of it
While you have grown wide in death
Reaching to the horizon and filling every molecule
In
Between.
Speak to me...
About Thebes, Oedipus and the burning of the Bank of America,
Speak to me...
So I can hear the dry liberating bitterness of your voice once more
Until you too step
Beyond the edge of things.
