Longinus: ... Homer in the Odyssey is like the “Setting Sun/Son($0ng)” ... the ‘Grandeur’ (o’th’Illiad) remains, but not the ‘INTENSITY’ ...

Dying reputation prompts ‘applause’:
Reports of long-spent(out) passion(s)
Keep the watchers/listeners/readers ‘en-thralled’ ...
(‘ ... what a “falling/f’ng” off there was! ...)

(A.): strong (‘volcanic’) part!
But played by an ag(e)ing actor,
Who can no longer bellow ‘lava lines’,
Or ‘shake souls’ ...

A ‘turbulent’ Ire/isLand,
‘Volcanic’, ‘U.N.stable(iZing)’: no ‘scene-sweller’,
It is cast(e) ‘mid-stage’ - watch/listen/read ‘care’-fully,
It might do ‘any-thing’ next ...

That night, not knowing why(?),
We shared a bed.
But once-‘common items’
We’re now guarded ‘personal effects’.

Helpless/HopelessAddicts,
We picked up Old(e)Habits:
An(emote-t’shon-A.L.)’Autopsy’.

I used a blunt kit(sch)en knife;
You favoured a cleaver..
But the ‘body’ proved frustratingly formless,
Bloodless ‘n’ Gutless:
A {H}‘ollywood corpse.

(Another way of seeing ‘it’?)
