On Meeting Xena on the Isle of Lesbos
(written c. 600 B. C. E. after Xena's visit to Sappho's home)
you twist yourself
in careful subtext,
hiding the fire
that's in your soul.
take her hand,
Xena,
you've taken more
than enough time:
her heart
is already yours
and you can't
continue
without
taking her
to your bed.
I can taste
your hunger
everytime I
catch you
watching her.
