Letter to Medusa: Part 4

How did you get ready for your day?

Did you brush your fangs,

pet the snakes growing from your scalp,

nod to their hissing like the radio?

Did you eventually get used to

the gray walls of your cavern

or did you ever look toward

the light and think

I want to see the sunset

even if I turn the whole

world to stone?
