The Arrivant
He emerges from the screen of guesses
Into bright Katsina light:
He is no Odysseus, and she
Is no Penelope. None
Of his sons resemble Telemachus,
In the contradictory omen.
So, some mysteries remain:
If the blood of Sisyphus runs in him –
If he phoned from Jeddah –
Why it had to be BBC –
Why arrive at night?
Also who kept him from Anticlea
And what was there to gain?
