Medusa's Gaze





Medusa
Sylvia Plath (an excerpt)


You house your unnerving head--God-ball,

Lens of mercies,

Your stooges

Plying their wild cells in my keel's shadow,
Pushing by like hearts
Red stigmata at the very center,
Riding the rip tide to the nearest point of departure,

Dragging their Jesus hair.
