EMMAN USMAN SHEHU
Gorgon
The snake-haired woman
stares straight
into your surprised eye-balls
as you steer into her strait
and you feel a chill
running down your spine,
and you sense a myth
shattering through sanity's shell.
The snake-haired woman
veers away
and finds her way
as the crowd suddenly
parts like the Red Sea.
The snake-haired woman
leaves a nasty trail
of fear in your spine
and a strong smell
of her presence
sticks in your nose
as you gasp for breath,
and awake in her arms
of draconian decrees.
The snake-haired woman
sinks her cruel claws
into your trembling heart,
and her forked tongue
snakes down your throat,
and you hear her gloat
relishing the blood of her kill.
