The Revenge of Clytemnestra

I gazed into my husband’s eyes. 
Eyes once borne by my daughter.

Agamemnon upon Mycenaean soil once more.
I embraced him as a figure crept out of the shadows.

Aegisthus slipped the knife’s hilt silently into my hand.
Agamemnon now forever lay beneath the land.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
