In Ohio, glaring down the length
Of her interminable drive, she thinks
"He is writing again about Verlaine's
Miscarried brothers who were kept
On a kitchen shelf by their mother!"
Her small cat, to soothe her, offers
To reveal the name Achilles used
When he lived among the women but
She's known it since she was sixteen:
Pyrrha, the Redhaired girl.
