			I

	O Medusa, how hath the envious slandered thee!
	Thou ne'er had'st need of coily snakes,
		nor hideous aspect.
	I know, for I have beheld thee,
		thy calm perfection,
	and I stand rooted, frozen,
		awed.

	
			II	

	My song,
	    is it not enough that you rob me of my sleep,
	    demanding substance, form?
	    must I also creep about this foreign house
	    at three o'clock in the morning
	    (trying not to disturb anyone),
	    looking for pencil and paper
	    to write you down?
