Household Devoured

an erasure of a passage from Robert Fagles' translation of Homer's Odyssey

by SOPHIA STOLKEY

  
     Blame
                   whatever

                 song                 that echoed
                                               the most.

                    The
              home
                        died,
                                                     so
                                             your own tasks
  


hold the        power.

                                Room.

                            Chamber.

                     Sealed            with

                     the       uproar
                           to                      share her bed.

          Suitors
            plague

                                         a fine thing

                         like 


                                             you.

Devour your own
                                           richer 
                          goods.
