Seducing Medusa

Blood puddles

scattered all throughout

and in,

sinister sin

and doubt 

mislabeled in tiny print

on the surface of 

aged tin,

where am I?

who am I when I am here?

a beauty beds down

as I am cotton 

and comforter

I am lace

and loveless,

I run my fingers

through thickly coiled locks 

the spoils of communication

of cowardly constitution,

whats worse than waiting 

when her serpents sing,

I am frozen faces

waiting for you,

when stared down?

My jaw line:

chiseled

statues

weak at the knees

Bravo!

Brilliantly new version of an old myth.  The perspective, the short, delicate lines, and the coy rhymes create a moving and sinister readin experience.  I am much impressed!
