Medea
Why do you
clutch red beads
around your neck?
To feel the clotted blood,
a river cold
between your fingers?
Or do you want to
choke the fear that
paints your eyes?
Is the cup you pour
into the fire cold
against the warmth?
Is it liquid poison,
is it guilt?
Morgan le Fey
Your robes and cape
are partners to your dance,
a swirl of filmy, floating
coloured gauze.
As you raise the magic
glowing in your hand,
you are a sorceress
spider spinning webs
of treachery and death.
