Ecstatic fleece that ripples to your nape
and reeks of negligence in every curl!
To people my dim cubicle tonight

It is a legacy of Tuscan skill;
see how the holy sisters, Power and Grace,
sustain this woman’s beauty in a form

Worshipped once, discreetly, by our sires
as Cynthia, the lamp of secret haunts,
and still attended through blue landscapes by

Late in this cruel season when the sun
scourges alike the city and the fields,
parching the stubble and sinking into slums

Stupidity, delusion, selfishness and lust
torment our bodies and possess our minds,
and we sustain our affable remorse

Dreams come now, bad dreams, and teenage boys
burrow into their pillows. Now the lamp
that glowed at midnight seems, like a bloodshot eye,

I prize the memory of naked ages when
Apollo relished gilding marble limbs
whose agile-fleshed originals achieved

You used to be jealous of our old nurse
who sleeps, warm heart and all, beneath the sod.
We ought to bring her flowers, even so.

Call it windfall

finding your calculation

come, finally,

Two events have a spacelike separation.
Show that a frame can be found in which
the two events occur at the same time.
