Direction
If you were on a ship and needed song
To urge you, would you want the Sirens or
The voice of Orpheus to make you long?
If you were on an ancient ship, what shore
Would you desire, a cove with killer rocks
Prepared by gorgeous women prodding death
Upon you praying for the jagged shocks
Of jutting lust, or would you want the breath
Of Orpheus to sing divinity
And thrilling life to fill the sails and drive
The bow towards masculinity
..
Harmodius and Aristogeiton
And heroism? What would make you strive
With heart and sinews, and sweat and muscles most?
Choose carefully your destination coast.
