Caravaggio: Medusa

I never thought I'd find myself here:
sharing a platter with John the Baptist,
a novelty favour at a wedding feast
for some spoilt rich kid. Hero?

I beg to differ. Still, I'm quite the dowry:
since Athena saw fit to put a halt
to me and Poseidon (as if she'd never screwed on an altar!)
and gave me a face to make the boys cower,

I'm one of a kind, a collector's item.
Or I was. But even my severed head
is a loaded weapon, my dead 
babies still writhe and rear to bite:

so place me on the top table for the big reveal,
drink down my hatred with your final meal.
