Omphalos

The presence of the present moment
Here now on rock at Delphi
The inevitable background summer song.
The brightly coloured ants below.
Different destinies
All that suffering to undergo,
The sensitive and beautiful and those
Worthy of death.

Irish Harry recommended this scene
The most beautiful place he has been
He says.
Fine as it is I yet feel
This dry Greek landscape
Is not my ideal

I prefer Palmyra

Just now I am weary.
I'll sleep here, it seems.
Pythias, Pythoness, send me some dreams.
