Happy birthday, rushthatspeaks, my best cousin, my blue-haired love. We live in a world where people make photoshoots of the death of Hyakinthos in Apollo's arms.

OK, it's transcribed but I'm having a devil of a time figuring out where I originally meant the line breaks to go, as the only copy I had was written in a squarish one-off chapbook over some cliche-verre illustrations.

Also, either there's a bit where Hyacinthus breaks off and addresses the audience directly in prose, or my scansion and rhymes in that passage really suck.

I'm willing to believe it was prose.
