Aργος Πανόπτης
All those eyes
always watching
and still you failed
to protect her
Turned into a heifer
by jealous Hera
or horny Zeus
The perfect guardian
Yet Hermes lulled you
with songs and stories
always watching
and still you failed
to protect her
by jealous Hera
or horny Zeus
Yet Hermes lulled you
with songs and stories
Now you sleep forever
That your eyes
were given to the peacock
is small comfort
Your vigilance a performance
At every ostentation or muster
your shame is manifest
were given to the peacock
is small comfort
your shame is manifest
