"You're into this?"

Note to self: In conservative New England Corporate America, Sappho on your desk is a bit odd. Sappho dog-eared and barely closed is a bit odder. When what you've dog-eared is:
...Now you shine among Lydian women
like the rosy-fingered moon
rising after sundown, erasing all stars

Nearest you and pouring light equally
across the salt sea
and over densely flowered meadows

Lucent under dew. Your light spreads on roses and tender thyme
and blooming honey lotus.

Often while you wander you remem-
ber me, gentle Atthis,
and desire eats away at you heart

For me to come.
You've opened yourself up to raised eyebrows and gossip that you cannot convincingly explain away as mere interest in exiled Grecian poets whose only works survive in fragments.
