Bow
in hand,
Arrow
set,
Athena’s
eyes fixed
Upon
her prey.
He
had stood
Before
the bronze statue
Marveling
at her grace,
Comparing
her to his wife,
Insulting
the latter.
Tearful
eyes
Gazed
At
the Goddess of War and Wisdom,
“What
would you have me do?”
She
whispered as he walked away.
The
woman turned
And
walked the other way.
Bow
in hand,
Arrow
set,
Athena’s
eyes fixed
On
a human with no heart.
She
stood,
Waiting
for the right distance,
For
that perfect moment
To
release her arrow
Upon
her prey.
