The Birth Of Aphrodite

Encapsulated heat arose,

the ocean grew bitter and cold 

as Uranus released a bubbly substance,

its desire for the human race emerges,

in a scallop shell to shore.

Seafoam washed up by the seashore.

Seafoam becomes she,

the embodiment of a human being.

A beautiful beast created,

fully grown,

craving for mating with man.

Myrtles await her arrival,

Doves hatch in branches,

flying overhead to greet her.

Gods fall in a lustful love. 

On their hands and knees meeting her.

On the island of Cyprus

Aphrodite has risen from foam.
