Foresight
call me Cassandra-
nothing will ease the sting of prophecy,
nor make it worse.
having watched the death of my beloved is enough.
having come endwise round, and seen the shape of truth
looming, shadowed and unnameable, under the gauze of
first sight. lumped and misshapen, it stalks me still.
so leave me now unto my curse.
