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
