v. Animal man to angel
“the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose” – Genesis 6:2
In the chronicles of giants
Fire loved a woman of earth
with peacocks at her feet
hibiscus through her locks
and deep dimples under her laughing—
when she betrayed him
(his fantasies bored her eventually)
for a one-boat fisherman and his spectacular nets
flung over green islands
and flying fish —
their son, confused between his elements,
took to the airwaves
and broadcast himself Hurucan
furious against surf, hill
defiant lamp.
