Godlike the man who
sits at her side, who
watches and catches
_____that laughter
which (softly) tears me
to tatters: nothing is
left of me, each time
_____I see her,
...tongue numbed; arms, legs
melting, on fire; drum
drumming in ears; head-
_____lights gone black

Coda

Her ease is your sloth, Catullus
you itch & roll in her ease:

former kings and cities
lost in the valley of her arm.

-- Catullus
