a poem was written about Sappho instead of a play

by Ali Znaidi

Prologue

Aroma of honeysuckle.
—Dust particles falling
through her hair.

Scene

Snowflakes were falling
on the street.
—Sappho was in her balcony
experimenting w/ throwing
jasmine in all directions.

Epilogue

A thick fog appeared.
—A halo of Sapphic
scents covered all the city.
