That man seems blessed as any god to me — whoever sits across from you and close, drinking the sweetness of your voice, your easy laugh.
This. This is what sets my heart to drum against my ribs. I catch one glimpse of you and suddenly my throat closes, my voice gives out, gives up —
my tongue snaps clean in half, a subtle fire goes racing just beneath my skin, my eyes go dark, a roaring fills my ears and rings and will not stop —
cold sweat breaks out across my body, trembling takes me entire, I go gray as dry grass gone to drought, and I seem to myself not far from dead —
but all can be dared. Since you, Kypris, save beggar and king alike, and lift even the small city beyond ruin — let this song survive in script.
