I have been killed more than once now-
How tormentingly unfortunate.
Beheaded, Jude's displeasure,
He would always bite me.
But I did, too.
Get back here again.
Henry, I'll show you.
What, you do not like it?
Why not?
Why do you not laud
In that dual expression of yours anymore,
In those serpents you'd given me?
I thought you were some sort
Of a big god.
Come now, come now.
Clairvoyant and vindictive,
You have said.
Tell me once more.
I will choke the light from you,
Like a sad light bulb,
Afflicted limestone
Through your arteries.
Henry, do what you do again.
Take out my beating heart.
Unfleshed, ugly cor!
Give it to the black-haired girl I hate,
And have her hold it,
As Ghismunda did with Guiscardo's.
Darling, you can do what
You have always done to me now.
Kill me once, kill me twice,
I will be there for you thrice.
Henry, beware.
Hide within the red corona,
Or I will come back again,
All claws and venom
And savage, like you.
One hideous visage,
Out of the blue
With these serpents I have tamed.
I will be seated, a gorgon grotesque,
Feasting on servicemen,
On conquistadors, on ones I have screwed,
And I will eat, eat, eat you too.
