Poem: To Helen

Helen, heaven crowned,
What do you know of this Earth?

You move in silence through
Each day with its dawn, each day with its dusk,

And you think
- I suppose you think -
You’re just another human.

I know that you’re not.

Helen you might not be
Meant for me
But leave that all aside and allow:

Whatever happens in your life –

You are a goddess, as a goddess wrecked Troy.
