Eyelids Tightly Shut
Her hungry lips, if you feel
deleting your days
her spine if you sense
squirming at your demise
warrior, remember to keep
your eyelids shut tight
her thighs if you feel
entwined around your waist
and her soft-spoken words
sweet against your tympanums
fingers and nails
if you feel writing on your skin
warrior, remember to keep
your eyelids shut tight
the glance of the Medusa
demands your death
Manolis Aligizakis
