A short poem about love.
Gorgon

Eyes that already turn to stone
cry every time they fall in love.
Even with braided hair, painted lips
and rouged knees, the bitter breath
of a cursed life brings salt
and ruddy cheeks.

There is no love when love is bitter;
even when the eyes glow
the heart yearns
there is no love for one whose loved.
