Book Four

On

Bottom,

Grab his right 

Hand with your left,

Right on mat, flip him,

Rolling right 'til he's on

His back, left hand holds right leg. 


Dream

Spoke to 

Nausicaa 

Athena's words,

Cart driven to pools

With laundry, food, wine, oil,

Ball game woke Odysseus.


Moves

Followed

Step by step

Resulted in 

Pins, escapes from a 

Neutral position, no

Consensual reversals.


On

Bottom,

Opponent's 

Right wrist in right

Hand, slide feet right, sit

Out, roll left on shoulders 

To right, sit, opponent left.


Words

Beseeched

Nausicaa,

Odysseus 

Given clothes, oil, bathed

In private, had food, drink,

Athena made him striking.


Gym 

Office 

Lights on, door 

Ajar, sound of

Running water heard

Coming from back, sideview 

Glimpsed of coach taking shower.


From 

Sit out,

Opponent's 

Arms through armpits,

Grab right wrist, roll, left

To right, over shoulders

Pulling him, grab his right leg. 


Plan

Formed by

Nausicaa,

Odysseus 

Would follow cart back,

Wait, arrive at palace, 

Supplicate himself, queen's knees. 


Crossed

Back toward

Showers as

If something left

Behind, passed office 

Where coach stood toweling off,

Anatomical display.


On

Bottom,

Make escape,

Grab opponent's 

Closest foot from back

Of ankle, lift his leg 

Forward, sit back as he falls. 


Mist 

Covered,

Athena 

Disguised, she showed 

Him palace; king, queen 

Greeted, Odysseus 

Begged for help to return home. 


Next

Practice 

Curtailed to 

Warm ups, followed 

By arrival of

Local public wrestlers,

Everyone stripped for weigh-ins.


In

Neutral,

Move around,

Circle left, right,

Continuously 

While changing your level 

Up, down, for penetration.


Food

Served, wine

Poured, queen asked

About home, clothes,

Odysseus spoke- 

With care- of Calypso,

Raft wrecked, king promised rowers. 


Eyes

Darted 

Across room,

Bodies, packed tight,

Exuded heat, male

Armpit funk, you took in

Priapic differences. 


From

Tie-up,

Left hand on

Back of his neck,

Crouch down, grab his left

Ankle with right hand, pull

Up, force head down, he falls back. 


Lords

Roused by

Athena,

Men launched ship, feast,

Demodocus sang:

Quarrel between Achilles 

And Odysseus, who wept.


Weighed,

Coaches

Matched wrestlers

From each class, not

Ladder positions,

Everyone given time

Spread across sections of mats.
