Cassandra
 
the thing that is never mentioned
is how I ached to be wrong
Helen had her bed
guilt-laden or not
whilst I dreamt of escape
to flee the curse of prediction
the anguished knowledge I’d prove right
yet never be heeded
as if the plague of sight could be lifted
and I could step from the walls of Troy
 to ascend an unknown destiny
