Peter Riley's Greek Passages (Shearsman, 2009), second selection

Here's the second of six prose poems from the collection that will appear here: 

Sweetly then / the whole thing / complete and / sailing away, singing: Noë noë noë . . . // Sings shouting: new, new born. // Welcome home, little turnip, welcome to the old song.
