  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!
