Regard this gleaming shield.

Gorgon sister, look close

And see the eyes of stone.

In gleaming aspis

Perseus beheld your face

Off'd the gorgon's head!

Ahead of snakes hair raised asps

Still bite from a distance divine

In line with gazes a stone thrown away.

A short story.

One paragraph of amusement to see a glance may spearhead an advance and feel differently the line “we all must get stoned “

Regardless of her origin, she was murdered by Perseus, but her head could still people to stone by looking at it, so he used it as a weapon.

I guess then, depending on her origin, she might have been either happy, or sad about that.

Hair raising thought …

Silent temple halls,

Neptune's shadow lingers (still)—

Curses twist her hair.

.

Cold stone eyes weep night,

Minerva’s cruel gift unfolds—

Vengeance turns 2 stone.

.

In the moonlit dark,

Gorgon’s gaze forever waits—

Whispers: of the past.

In that snake-framed face

In the colour of her eyes

I found paradise

Nico!! I was just thinking about you yesterday, so funny.

I can always count you for a totally different take. I love the romantic nihilism 🖤

Expand full comment

Haha thanks! I realized it had been a while, it’s good to be back 🖤

All men feared her wrath,

If the stare didn't get you,

The snakes surely would... 😎

Get you a girl who can do both🖤
