Book Eight

Lock

Hands, tilt

Right elbow 

Toward mat, left leg

Between legs, roll on

Right shoulder with his to

Mat, your left leg on his right.



Fat

Beggar,

Annoyed by

Odysseus,

Called for fight, suitors

Fixed prize, Irus beaten 

By massively muscled king.



You

Headbutt,

Your shoulders

Propelled forward,

His knees pulled toward you,

Until he fell backwards,

Kneeling, head between his legs.



From 

Top, him,

Down on his

Stomach, lock his

Left leg up with your 

Left knee, your left foot on 

Right calf, lift your legs toward butt.



Queen 

Dazzled,

Presents piled,

Slave girl taunted,

Eurymachus jeered,

Odysseus enraged 

Them, Telemachus sought peace.



You

Scrambled,

Weight on chest,

Pivoted left,

Left arm around his

Neck, right between his legs,

Under knee, cradled to pin.



From 

Top, him

On his back,

Chest on chest, lock

His right leg between 

Your crotch and back of your 

Right knee, squeeze arms together.



Arms

Locked in 

Storeroom, slave

Girl scolded, Queen 

Asked beggar questions,

Spoke truths, Odysseus 

Answered with lies and truths mixed.



Tight

Group of 

Varsity 

Wrestlers huddled

Over illegal 

Moves: junk groping; oil check,

Immobilized tea bagging.



Stand,

Knees bent,

On circle,

Hands out, shuffle 

Around it, feet no

Closer than three inches,

Never crossed, faced out, repeat.



Nurse

Washed feet,

Recognised

Odysseus'

Scar, Penelope 

Dreamed eagle killed her geese,

Would hold contest to win her.



In

Shower

By himself

Facing tiles, the 

Wrestler you'd pinned, his

Body turned, sporting an

Erection, his eyes met yours.



On

Stomach,

Elbows to

Mat, crawl forward,

Using just forearms,

Dragging feet, legs behind,

Cross mat, turn around, repeat.



Sleep 

Denied

Him until 

Athena calmed,

Penelope wept,

Zeus thundered, slave prayed, feast

Prepared, Telemachus spoke.



He

Turned back,

You swiveled 

Nearby shower 

Handle, your soap bar

Followed as it crossed your

Body, lingered between legs.



Stand,

Knees bent,

Feet spread, squat 

Down until hands

Hit mat, roll forward 

On neck, with head tucked to

Chin, end, seated, hands wrap knees.



Bone

Thrown at

Beggar missed,

Telemachus 

Agreed mother would 

Pick husband, suitors laughed

Losing control, prophet spoke.



Hot

Water

Triggered an

Erection- blocked

When other wrestlers

Turned on showers, clouds of

Steam, banter covered the scene.

Book One (Iliad)

Introduction  {Definition: An 'oil check' is an unofficial, illegal wrestling maneuver when applied in freestyle wrestling.  One wrestler inserts one, or more, finger(s) into another wrestler's rectum. The point of doing so- without a referee noticing- is to distract the insertee long enough for the inserter to try something else to reverse the match, escape, or gain control according to the rules. It is unofficial because while fingers are expressly prohibited from being inserted into openings- a wrestler's eyes, ears, nose, mouth- the rectum is not mentioned. Definition: A nut check is an unofficial, illegal, wrestling maneuver when applied in freestyle wrestling. One wrestler places a hand between the legs of another wrestler but instead of moving onto a leg, grabs the testicles (or penis). The point of doing so- without a referee noticing- is to distract the wrestler handled long enough for the handler to try something else to reverse the match, or gain control acco...
