Love Of Wisdom
by Kay Dover

Socrates, come lay with me
on the golden steps of posterity

and I will feed you grapes with hungry hands
as you embrace your burden.

Socrates,
ask me again what justice is

and I will go to the ground
and place my head beneath your sandal;

what beauty,
and I will bare a brown breast;

what good,
and I will kiss your mouth;

what love,
and I will draw the life from my white wrists
and paint with it your words;

Socrates,
ask what truth,
and I will smile.
