Confession

 To say I'm without fear--
It wouldn't be true.

I'm afraid of sickness, humiliation.

Like anyone, I have my dreams.

But I've learned to hide them,
To protect myself
From fulfillment: all happiness
Attracts the Fates' anger.

They are sisters, savages--
In the end they have
No emotion but envy.
