Aeolus
send winds
to fill his sails,
Poseidon's trident
smooth swelling waves
to skim on swiftly
on the headlong rush
straight back to Ithaca.
T he siren's song
a doppler shifted
memory,a bit of wood
caught in the teeth of Scylla
and cunning
Odysseus
will
be home
at last to face
the fierce contenders. May
he find a smooth path
and a faithful wife in Penelope.
