Medusa's End

by Mikal Trimm

She, broken, lies

embraced by gutter's

tender concrete ministrations,

red snakes writhing on the pavement,

from her hair the snakes are pouring

out, they hiss and undulate across

the cracked face of the sidewalk

as they leave this strange medusa

to her darkness, cold as stone.
