Book Six

From 

Tie-up,

Hands grab his

Arms, duck under

Right, hook your left arm

Under his left armpit,

Move behind him, both arms hooked. 


Blood 

Fed dead,

Elpenor

Begged, prophet spoke:

Foretold choices, fates;

Odysseus engaged

Mother, spoke to Greek heroes.


Worn

Singlets

Piled, sizes 

Intermingled,

Previous wearers' 

Names masking taped, fabric

Stretched to conform to bodies.


From

Tie-up,

On his right 

Side, left hand slid

Around his torso,

Right hand hooks left side of 

His neck, propel him forward.


Asked,

Circe 

Spelled out crew's

Trials: ears plugged past

Sirens' rocks; men lost 

To Scylla's heads; avoid

Charybdis' sucking whirlpool.


Pre

Practice 

Physicals,

Lined up, doctors 

Took vital signs, used

Stethoscopes on hearts, lungs,

Palpated reclined wrestlers.


Step

Between 

Opponent's 

Legs, with arms locked

Around his armpits,

Squat, arch back, lift him, throw

Him forward falling backwards.


Crew

Sheltered

Inside cave, 

Although oath sworn,

When food ran out, god's 

Cattle slain; Zeus sent winds,

Smashed ship, drowned crew, course reversed.


One

Doctor 

Sat behind 

Screen, testicles

Groped, penis measured, 

Anus fingered while each

Wrestler bent, grabbing ankles.


In

Neutral,

Drop level,

Head butt, both hands

Grab back of his neck,

Step around to force head

Toward mat, chest on back of head.


Swift

Rowers,

Phaeacians

Reached Ithaca,

Odysseus left

Asleep with his treasures,

Poseidon punished helpers.


Used

Singlet

Straps yanked to

Shoulders, stopped at

Crotch, your butt cheeks split 

Chest, thighs squeezed, your penis,

Pointing upward, expanded.


In 

Neutral,

Drop level,

Keep legs back to

Avoid opponent's 

Leg grabs, reach across, push

Hands down on his upper back.


Lies,

Mist swirled,

Athena

Hid treasures, then

Plotted his revenge 

Against suitors, disguised 

Odysseus as beggar.


Your

Partner's 

Body changed

In his singlet, 

All firm muscles, hard

Bones, contact suddenly 

Complicated with intent.


Coin 

Flip choice

Factors risks:

Opponent's skills

His physical size; 

Current score; minutes left;

Eye contact signals from coach.


Guard

Dogs snarled,

Swineherd chased

Them, prepared food

For his unknown guest,

Bemoaned absence of his

Master whom he assumed dead.


You

Circled

Opponent,

Reached hands across,

Tapped on his head while

Keeping legs back, feigned a

Drop to see his reaction.
