Etude No.1
Forlorn Calisto
A
diamond facade
ends
the already
cholesterol
rid-
den arteries
of
emotional,
verbal, chit-chat.
An
Iron Maiden
with-
out her lethal
blades, still her ar-
mor
ever dazzling,
she
stands poised, crying
mock turtle tears
with
hopes of pity.
But,
can you pity
such a creature?
