From “A Prayer for Rain”
Peace is never without envy for the
hunger of power is never quelled by
the full belly, bloat of satisfaction,
but solely by the art of conquest, the
acquisition of something that rest not
in your palms, but in someone else’s.
From “The Oracle of Cisthene” :
Oracle tells no lies to the men who
come to it want to hear. He who believes
he is without worry worries the most
for what lies beyond his control.
Excerpt #1 from my forthcoming book, Medusa – The Lost Daughter.
From “The Gorgon Awaits Her Fate”
Fate binds goddess and monster like a knot
of twine woven tight, restricted, hard to
remove, without fraying the core. A king’s
fate cannot be changed without a gift of
blood given at the altar of those gods
he angered with his pride.
