There are only a few openings left for assured reading at February’s Salon, then I shall start a waiting list. Please follow the guidelines – navigation bar at top of the site.
Poem by Petronius Arbiter, translator – Kenneth Rexroth
Good God, what a night that was,
The bed was so soft, and how we clung,
Burning together, lying this was and that,
Our uncontrollable passions
Flowing through our mouths,
If I could only die that way,
I’d say goodbye to the business of living.
