And what of these nymphs?
Nereids lusting after
handsome and lonely travellers.
-- why beauty and charm
always lead to the spending
and bedazzling of
their victims: foolish men.
Taste of the semi-divine
flesh and ever-after
dissatisfied by the merely
terrestrial.
Living for a thousand years
or more, none can
escape the Sirens
& Aphrodite herself
tells her lover Anchises
that the mountain nymphs who mate
the sileni and Hermes
live as long as the oaks
and pines which spring up
at their birth
