Stone Eyed

green eyed what’s betided here we heard you crying out weeping wailing wrists worn red has someone held you down and I can hear the changing sound sister be still while we’re here no one can hurt you now we have searched till you were found in the temple nearly drowned grey eyed angered by your shape misplaced you were devout serpents sprouting as your form lay tangled on the ground and I can hear the changing sound sister you may fret and fear but we are with you now all the waves that held you down in the temple nearly drowned throw my beauty to the gorgon scale my skin and twist my organs oceans came to dark my door and salt my sister in the temple floor now you send this child to take her sword and shield meant to erase her loathing left us cold and ageless a fate to share with those who gaze us stone eyed all that’s left of you the sight who sought you out weeping wailing even ears of stone will hear us now and I can hear the changing sound
