[hometext] => I have always liked Achilles. In this poem, I imagined myself as his lover, both hurt and loved by him.
[bodytext] => Erase that smug on your face. You need not to pretend, I know you are strong and I will always be the weakling that you will carry. As you wash the blood on your hands, I could almost taste its metallic bitterness where you often plunge while I watch in melancholic fascination. Achilles, lay with me tonight. I yearn to touch those calloused hands and untangle your flaxen strands… The only help I could offer. At passions’ height I sense your weakness, your need, your ache, your hunger. I hold your heel. Erase that smug on your face.
