If I let you look into my eyes, silently, there are many things I may allow you to see, 

but you must have the vision. 

Like other mythical creatures that have left their marks upon us all, 

there is a danger in the seeking you have asked for. 

You don’t believe that Medusa literally turned her lovers to stone, do you?

 What of those who were already stone-hearted? 

Did they crumble?
