As much a part of this world as the next

NEAR MYTH
The all night girls
out on the mainline
muttering the lyrics
What are they nymphs?

TEXT
“at Ankor Wat
a Hindu myth carved in stone
shows a tug of war
between gods & demons
w/a serpent as a rope. A sea of
milk is
churned by this action
& voluptuous women
called apsaras
take flight from the
froth like
bubbles
from champagne”

THE CLASSICS
One thing’s for sure those
naiads & water sprites
lounginig at poolside
will dive into their shadows
one day
& never resurface (although
the cinematic flutter
of their eyelids will
linger
