Copying copy

Far too much into our reality,
We copy it after it slips away

While running on our spokes
Of motor cycle in eight form

In a centrifugal pull to reality.
Sheer your machine to eight

Or as a compass will appear
And the north is everywhere

Slipping away to a south lea,
Froth at stern, hills drowned,

A white bird ducking the real
Copy is not reality but vision

In white hollow of a cranium
An attempt to capture reality

With only the shell remaining
We hold on to as dying men.

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
