Medusa's TeaA Poem by AljaGreek mythology fascinates me. Medusa was actually a beautiful woman, until Poseidon showed her love in Athena's temple. The goddess was angered and punished Medusa by turning her into a monster.Gracious Helious arouses a fire in her silenced, parasitic heart. Timid are her scorpion eyes Not gracing Poseidon's seas with luscious avocado green. Sins of intimacy are shed From her fallible, loose skin delightfully scorched by Athena With dawn, envy is paralyzed. Past lovers modified to nutrients, Left solemnly to swim in her tea.
