Circes Power

 I never turned anyone into a pig.

Some people are pigs; I make them
Look like pigs.


I'm sick of your world
That lets the outside disguise the inside.
 Your men weren't bad men;
Undisciplined life
Did that to them.
 As pigs,

Under the care of
Me and my ladies, they
Sweetened right up.


Then I reversed the spell, showing you my goodness
As well as my power.
 I saw

We could be happy here,
As men and women are
When their needs are simple.
 In the same breath,

I foresaw your departure,
Your men with my help braving
The crying and pounding sea.
 You think

A few tears upset me? My friend,
Every sorceress is
A pragmatist at heart; nobody sees essence who can't
Face limitation.
 If I wanted only to hold you

I could hold you prisoner.
