Orpheus was as a poet
nearly perfect as the myth
attests but he failed his Hades
exit test that showed that he didn’t
learn what many a woman can do—
watching the road while seeing all behind.
But then again how many a woman was Orpheus?
The dénouement of the nu
is what the night, la nuit,
often brings about…
but why then in the dark
—if the dark descent
lets you see much less
what dishabille reveals?
Unless in the floating no
of a gently nudging nu
hides a muted yes,
one which turns around
norms of hackneyed days
along with the eyes—
hence how we see or even live?
