QUOTE : Sapphic Chords<br /><br />On what marble stones would you scratch your love today?<br />Spray it on brick walls, rap it in pool halls,<br />hang it on the clothes line with you lingerie?<br />Oh, Sappho!<br /><br />Would you swing a softball bat, wear lipstick, ride a Harley?<br />What novels would you pen, what political party?<br />Is that really tenderness in your final line, or do words hang for what you<br />couldn't say?<br /><br />What remnants you left behind, too little but enough<br />for us to know the luxury of your lust.<br />Your heat, your wisdom, your passion - all left in fragmented trust.<br />Oh, Sappho!
