Cyclops

by Diane Fahey

Polyphemus,
too dim to remember prophecies
(but then, who does?)
accepts wine from Nobody.
When he awakens
his cave is a darkened eye.
After his anger has subsided,
like the mountains he plucked
and threw into the sea,
he sits there thinking of
Nothing, Nowhere, Nobody.

From: 
Listening to a far sea
