I. Pan, who played upon the reed pipe which was Syrinx, his beloved

[poem] On the axis of blue dreams connected by blazing star flowers exploding from your fingertips

II. Phaeton, who rode upon the chariot of the sun for one day and was hurled into the river Padus by a thunderbolt

[poem] For decades

III. Niobe, who, lamenting the death of her fourteen children, was turned into a mountain

[poem] Light and shadow*

IV. Bacchus, at whose feasts is heard the noise of gaggling women’s tattling tongues and shouting of boys

[poem] In ancient woods

V. Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image and became a flower

[poem] Language is composed of silence

VI. Arethusa, who, flying from the love Alpheus the river god, was turned into a fountain
