Euridice's WarningWhat if I descend into a hell so dark
that you can't come down after me,
trailing doctors with their pills.
Even if you beg permission, sweetly
to the sound of strings pulled lightly,
tug the heavy heart of Hades,
you'll still break the rules and look.
Still, they all will point at you and blame you
for my crimes against myself
while you hold the empty shell
of my manufactured hell.Karen Tellefsen
