by Tapabrata Mukherjee
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.
