(New) Book Four
On
Bottom,
Slide feet from
Opponent, raise
Right foot, use right hand
To grab his right hand, pull
Up while pushing back to stand.
Coached
To catch
God asleep,
Menelaus
Held on through shape shifts,
Proteus answered how
To set sail, fates of others.
In
Partnered
Drill, yours bowed
His head, kept hands
On mat, you grabbed his
Ankles, pulled legs against
Your chest as he did push-ups.
On
Bottom,
Raise right hand,
Grab opponent's
Right hand, thrust legs out,
Sit, roll left on left knee
To right knee, head facing him.
Made
Aware
By Noemon,
Antinous planned
Surprise attack on
Telemachus' return,
Penelope wept at news.
You
Lowered
His ankles
To mat, reversed
Positions, your legs
Against his chest, t-shirt,
Untucked, fell, baring your chest.
On
Bottom,
Slide feet from
Opponent, hold
His right hand, raise right
Leg to toes, push into
Him until seated on him.
Zeus,
Meanwhile,
Sent Hermes
To Calypso,
Told her to release
Him, Odysseus sent
With water, wine, food, and clothes.
In
Showers,
You glimpsed your
Partner from the
Side, lathering his
Chest, legs; when he turned, you
Looked down, avoiding his eyes.
On
Bottom,
Cross right hand
With left on mat,
Twist right, spread legs, sit,
Move right hand to grab his
Left leg, right knee down, left raised.
Tools
Supplied,
Raft crafted,
Odysseus
Set sail by stars, land
Glimpsed, Poseidon spotted
Him, raised waves, wind: raft capsized.
Your
Partner
Among those
Lined up by scale,
His towel tossed on a
Nearby bench, patiently
Waiting as wrestlers checked weights.
On
Bottom,
Grab hand on
Waist, tighten hold,
Raise left knee, lean right,
Roll him across your back
To back, left hand grabs right leg.
Climbed
Back on
Raft, goddess,
Ino, advised:
Abandon raft; strip;
Swim to Phaeacia with
Her scarf tied around his chest.
Coach,
Bottom,
Grabbed your hand,
Rolled you over
His back until you
Landed on yours, his hand
Reached between legs for right one.
Winds
Calmed by
Athena,
Odysseus
Swam past cliffs to a
River, emerged, naked,
Sought shelter under bushes.
You
Ceded
Control to
Bottom's actions,
Declined to resist
When pulled across his back,
Landing on yours with legs spread.
