Book Five

From 

Neutral,

Drop level,

Penetrate: both 

Hands grab backs of his

Knees, forehead pushed in chest,

On your knees, pull him toward you.



Games

Began,

Euryalus 

Called out their guest,

Odysseus, to

Compete, discus thrown far,

Dancers danced to poet's song.



Quick 

Handshake 

With stranger

Probed similar 

Builds, you both circled,

Foisted penetrations

To unpredictable feints.



From 

Tie-up,

Drop level,

Right foot outside 

His left leg, drop right 

Knee, right arm around his

Left leg, stand up, lift his leg.



Gifts

Piled, bath

Water warmed,

Odysseus 

Requested poet

Sing of Greeks, Trojan horse,

Tears fell, king asked origins.



You

Weren't pinned,

Match scoreless-

No referees,

Singlets, informal

Dual- competitor's 

Face, body lost in red sweats.



From

Tie-up,

Circle, crouch 

Down, pull his right 

Arm over your left

Shoulder, your right between 

His legs, pull right knee to chest.



Sacked

City,

Close escape,

Lotus-eaters

Confused scouts, Cyclops 

Met, sealed in cave, ate men,

Drunk on wine, giant blinded.



You,

Partner,

Bracketed 

On wrestling room 

Wall at next practice,

Bottom feeders, missed cut

On away transportation.



From 

Tie-up,

Circle, drop

Down, rotate, his

Right arm, thigh behind 

Your head, pulled on your back, 

Somersault him onto mat.



Bag

Of winds

Aeolus 

Gave, opened by

Crew, failed them, cast out,

Moored, Antiphates broke

Ships, men with giant boulders.



Top

Bracket

Wore rubber

Suits in wrestling 

Room, with heat turned up

To cut their weight, stripped down 

Soaking wet, sucked laxatives.



From 

Tie-up,

Pull his hands, 

Bend knees, drop down,

Right hand grabs inside 

His left thigh, left hand his 

Left calf, pull, hold leg to chest.



Crew

Turned pigs

By Circe,

Odysseus,

Guided by Hermes,

Overpowered her, year's 

Recovery, wanted home.



You 

Noticed

Sideview of

Wrestler on his 

Hands and knees behind 

Closed stall door, enema 

Squeezed of solution, ass raised.



From 

Tie-up,

Opponent's 

Feet parallel,

Drive forehead into 

Chest, grab behind his knees,

Pull knees forward, push back, down.



Begged

To leave,

Circe told

Odysseus 

How to reach Hades,

Pour libations, offer 

Blood to draw Tiresias.



Star

Wrestler 

Stood on line

At scale before 

Practice, left early 

To check weight, returned, back 

On line after practice ended.
