Here's a new one. (relatively) I'm just going to post it and not try to explain it. If you have questions, ask me.


The Fragments of Sappho
By Michael S. Walker

The fragments of Sappho
That we know
Were resurrected
From refuse
And the bandages
Of Egyptian mummies
All that desire destroyed
Because church fathers deemed it
Obscene inappropriate
The old story
Our most lucid poetry
Not to be trusted
Or even
Believed
Confine it to a drawer
And then pray that you have
The cowardice to throw it away
Substitute instead
The Bible of Denial
And its Concordance
That weak heaven
In Latin Aramaic and
Greek
