I was enchanted by Medusa’s
deadly beauty and
fearlessly, I begged her
to look at my ephemeral body
and define me in the motionlessness
of the statue
to turn my mortality
into endlessness
and with her transcending glance
to turn my mortal time into
infinity locking it in the statue’s
beautiful immobility and serene
humane smile that
in a final analysis reached
the end where logic refused
to analyze further
where emotions dominate
that from zero to one and
from one to the following one
the unworthy ephemeral
becomes immortal
I was enchanted by Medusa’s
deadly ability
to distinguish between
graceful and graceless
and I said,
the face of Medusa wasn’t
her confusing diphthong
but the sigh of her two-faced riddle
that I was called to decipher.
