ODYSSEUS ELYTIS DAY

November third
Odysseus under a blank
verse blanket
above a tortured world
at war with itself
yet you refusing
the clenched fist
of the fascists
in censorship
or dictatorship
in your wrists
your words closing
as islands
in a peaceful Greek
neighborhood awake
a painter lifts his canvas
greets a poet
who aches with deep eyes.
