Fat baby naked on a slab.
Blue-veined marble
From Rome's fabled suburbs --
from there, or the Lincoln linoleum store.
Lil fits the bill, stubs
fag after fag out in the bronzed
shoes. Stillborn siblings
barefoot in the hedge.
Whispers constantly plucked
off the barbs edging a holly leaf.
Friends known only to you,
a king, a warrior, and a Jew.
