Tereus and the Bad Sisters
I could have used some honeyed words, some chat-up line, some coaxing voice;
I could have promised stardom, glory, fame –
But force, I’ve found, works faster.
Sisters, you both look the same;
There’s hardly difference in your name;
So tell me, really, where’s the blame?
My role is lord and master. -
I, Medusa
I, Medusa,
I am used
To every juicy, every venom-laden insult you can hurl;
I’ve heard them all.
Once, when I was young, intact,
My girlish hair smooth, sleek, still, black,
Unwilling I could still attract.
O how the lowly fall!
