Gorgon

If every gorgon

had an organ

what would the gorgons play?

Well, every gorgon

has an organ

and plays it to this day:

Medusa bangs out wretched tunes

to make the Greeks’ ears bleed;

alongside, Stheno follows close

her eardrum-stabbing lead.

Euryale slams vilely

her fingers on the keys,

and out come shrieks to make us howl

‘Oh, save us, save us, please!’
