Medusa's Snakes
November 7, 2018
I sit upon Medusa’s head and wait
to hiss at victims she encounters.
Sometimes I pretend I am a star in the night,
on top of the world,
rather than sitting on a
haglike, hideous, and raging monster.
I feel like a sword hanging on the wall;
used
for decoration, and taken out
only to fight.
So I sit and wait,
for the hormones to fly into my body,
and I push my tongue in front of my sharp fangs,
open my green, glowing eyes
and release the chaos I was sent.
