To the Furies

To the Furies

A Poem by Hypnos

I praise the fair-minded Furies, daughters of Gaea,
daughters of starry-cloaked Ouranos her consort,
born of blood and betrayal. Your wrath falls upon
the oathbreaker, O righteous ones; your vengeance
is borne by the murderous, the villainous,
the faithless and the wicked. Couriers of justice,
harbingers of evil omen, curse-bearers,
gracious ones who demand from the wrongdoer
what penance is due, none can escape your swift
and certain sanction. Goddesses, I honor you.

A fine tribute. There are many I wish the Furies would turn their wrath loose on.
