no death
only metamorphoses
you didn't leave us
but went to the land of life
where the flower
never fade
where time doesn't know
anything about
us
our scars
our wrinkles
where it's always morning
I will flourish my heart
where I live for you
and will live twice

But on the ravish’d virgin vengeance takes,
Her shining hair is chang’d to hissing snakes.
These in her Aegis Pallas joys to bear,
The hissing snakes her foes more sure ensnare,
Than they did lovers once, when shining hair. 🐍
