Heard-Hearted Gods “You are hard-hearted you gods and jealous beyond all creatures beside” - Homer, ‘The Odyssey’ It’s going to happen again. Another round of being loved and left, another realisation that I am just a pretty diversionary tactic before they go back to real life. Calypso discarded, a crumpled heap on the very shore that Odysseus left. I have played Circe. I could do it again, but the first time all it got me were words of regret, of sympathy, of remorse that things could not be different. I will save my energies and spare my tears as best I can. This time was supposed to be different. That goddamn refrain of every abandoned woman, every Medea, every Bertha Mason. When scorned, we turn mad because it wasn’t meant to end like this. I know it hurts more to be Penelope. I have heard her stories and kissed away her tears. But the thought of her leaving now makes me hollow and empty. It may not come to pass. But she slips through my fingers like sand in an hourglass and I know there is not much time left. ______________________________ we have come so far :: it is over
