Afternoon

1.
As you talk of vibes, I feel the sounds of the afternoon; dripping, wet, yet unloved.
None but Poseidon knew the true self of Medusa

...before he raped her.

2.
Nobody has ever seen a happy whore,
Yet everyone was left broken to the core
when they left.

And she smiles like an evening star; every day.
