ME & MY FAMILY

				in reality
				Perseus represents the Dorian
				marauders who came down into
				Greece
				from the north,
				raping, butchering, burning;
				ravaging
				the ancient Goddess religions,
				hence-
				the symbol  of him carrying
				the Medusa's head off
				in a sack.

				they all kept silent,
				eating their fresh pork & sweet
				potatoes,
				faces down close
				to their plates, thinking
				I'd lost my mind.
