The Stone Pillar

“Before I know it, oh, I am here already!” Foolishly, I looked back. Eurydice was, as if whirled through a funnel, drawing back to the pit below, though my heart’s keen desire is to hold her in my arms again. “Without knowing it, so soon, I am here already.” Foolishly, I looked back. My broken footmarks behind me panting with an arm stretched, what shall I do if my footmarks outrun me while I am wavering. Finally, my journey has ended, I looked back; foolishly. Medusa is staring at me with her pupil-less eyes, the serpents wriggle to seize me to venom me though my heart is still pounding.
