Medusa, Medusa – flash poem

Medusa, Medusa
I sure could use a
cup of your treasure,
stroke me and stoke me
fire me, brand me
use me, abuse me

and

turn me to stone

    Well done, Sean! I like the way you separated the last bits; it makes the line turn me to stone more impactful.

    Is it hot in here? This kind of turns me on. Reminds me of rock lyrics. I like that you use a mythology creature as a metaphor. Awesome, Sean.
