cumaeansibylWho is the prophet against the wall?
What does she ask,
which god's charge
does she carry in her hands?
Why does she gesture so,
and stop to shut her eyes?
Against the light she is dead,
the hole in her heart casts no shadow.
Mercy has fled that place of perception.
Unfair, it seems,
for a woman to ask so much.
