    The title stands for "vampire" Greek.
    And the poem's about his memories in Lesbos, an island of Archaic Greece.

    I'll definitely check that out, "confusion" I mean.

    I enjoyed this one greatly. Though admittedly, despite the references to Sappho and Lesbos, the narration of the poem felt more masculine than feminine, and I couldn't help wonder what nuance might have been brought with more feminine a voice evinced.

    Indeed. In fact, since this one was more impulsive than the others I started assuming a female's narration, however, as I'm wont to do, I crossed over at some point to one of a male.

    I suppose it's because of my bias toward men? I create myself a mystery, and not only the readers.

    Very perceptive Miles ;)

    Alaphroiskiotoi sees the flame.

    Nice feeling and sentiment to this one, Bird. (I would say 'it' again, but you know.)
