If it aint Medusa Ill eat my fuckin
hat(dont wear a hat so thats an empty threat – dont let that distrack you -- Im
all about threats I can take em an make em)
its cumbersome
Medusa on the floor though she averts her gazeher withering-stone
gaze while her head of snakes coil an twine snarl an hiss
I irritate them
an they seem irritated with her that she doesnt
or wont fulfill her her wha her taskher predilection
if
she doesnt feel it why should she
obviously I would be on her
side(if she has sides) you wouldnt think
their protests coming up out of the ochre-tiled bathroom floor could be
incendiary or threatening but they are their threats roll up my pant legs
shiver an prickle my skin an I cant help but wonder why Medusa doesnt lift her
headlook up at me with her eyes stricken
me
but I cantI wont look away
I am aware as I mop the floor time
an time again since Ive recognised her visage that her threat remains that she could easily in an abrupt moment lift her eyes an fix meice me transfigure me
into stone a cheap way to become statuary no Michelangelo wiping his brow in the humid
Mediterranean heat sweatingsuffering his hammer blowsangry bits of broken
marble biting him
I understand her despairher loathsomeness
she married Poseidon and infuriated
Athena and Athena a greater goddess condemned Medusa to her monstrous life a lifean adoration begat in love
love can do that
love can be everything you never
imagined and then in its worse connotations
or infliction
you wouldnt think so
your idealism doesnt allow you to think so
but who is truly thinking when first
falling in love who has the capacity to
annihilate the tender colourful blossom of love with the black blade of reason rationale
we dont think love has chains or bitter lashes
it isnt dark consumptive
demoralising
perhaps thats why Medusa doesnt
render me
her physicality complexion dont put
me off or do I abhor her she seems to recognise my compassion
thin ice?
I hope not
