Heroes

 

Odysseus travels across the nuclear seas

 

In  March madness. Where are you dear stranger?

 

I lost you to a computer , now I weave my web

 

To tempt you home .Eastern zones where people scream

 

In silence are   not the place for your journey.

 

Oh, timeless zone of wanderers ,send him back.

 

I love this green eyed stranger ,this star angel

 

From above. He shone like a crackling nuclear reactor

 

As we walked along the edge of the world,

 

Where  the  seven  seas roar endlessly.

 

Are you Hamlet’s ghost?

 

Could Shakespeare write your tragic story?

 

We have no stature now,leaning into the laptops

 

Talking into the air, like people trapped in hidden ellipses

 

We stare out, unseeing. We listen but hear nothing.

 

Where are you ,my  stranger. The sea boils in anguish.

 

I await you ,the  unseen, the unknown.
