death of a gladiator
A poem, in draft.
death of a gladiator
we went on holiday to Rome
in my dream
we took a bus to the Colosseum
in my dream
we made love in the sun
in my dream
in my dream
we went on holiday to Rome
took a bus to the Colosseum
made love in the sun
i was eaten by a lion
in my dream
in my dream
you were the lion
hah! wonderful twist! I love the spare language and rhythm - good example of less is more!
I like this; nice, simple, but structured with vivid imagery.
