Nero's Domus Aurea
created a new form
even though erased
"damnatio memoriae"
from the Fori Romani -
a trace of it was found
in Titus monument
for Vespasian his father.
Nothing but a dance macabre
at my funeral pyre
only the dirt on a little
road in the middle of the vinyards
will hail my aging bones
and the rest will be at sea
with Poseidon's creatures
leaving a new spawn of frogs.
