I can see you
Yes, I can see
You, great Cyclops
Blinded by men
Blinded by pain

I can see you
In the dawn light
Staring after
Odysseus
Unseeingly

I can see you
Humbled before
Your only lord
Hands in the air
Face to the sky

I can see you
Now crying out
“O hear me, lord!”
Asking your god
To avenge you

I can see you…

In me
