Agrian Elegies (III)

III

No more the honorable king
   followed by his modest queen
      in haste through corridors of death
         attempting to leave a message
            to the posterity
                on faithfulness
        on the place of  heaven’s spouse
            among the stars
                           from immortelle to clouds.


And him no more
   for whose love would Heracles
      mighty Thanatos tempt
         to wrest from the sticky wings
             the endless mistress’ life.


Even Heracles no more
   A brave companion
      no more people prepared
         to bow before the eternal bay
             in the brumous Balkans.
