The Master

The Master

I wrote my last lines on a sea shell

And throw it far away, where

The Hunter found it and sold it to a snail

Empress fought for it

Then, gave it to You, Who

Was sickened by the sight of her, even

So You give it to Hermes, and he

Brought it to Apollo, who

Thought it was a lyre and breathed in it,

Thus, my words became immortal,

While You fall in Love

With him instead of me, I wept

In Empress’s empty bosom, then

She betrayed me, to flee

With the Hunter, who

Bartered her for a chamois, and

Died during the hunt, after

Falling from the cliff

I took his unclean soul to the Underworld, and

Got Medusa’s Curse from Pluto!
