Lion Woman

Born under the sign of Leo      I am a monster
A Hellenic demon                     I squeeze, tighten my hold
A living image                           I am a killer
Carved out of rock                    I am a beast
Crowned with beauty                I am bad luck
A lion’s body                              I am destruction
Eagle’s wings                              I am unloved
Sting of a serpent’s tail                I am a weaver of riddles
If you cannot solve my riddle      I will eat you up
If you cannot love     me              I will eat myself
Love me                                     Myself
