Oresteia - Chorus (5)

[Cassandra captured by Ajax]

Cassandra:

Cursed with second sight
I must recite
what’s coming

for us both
your deathmy death
the Asian chick

you've brought back
from abroad
the cookie-cutter

candy-sweet
you’re counting on
for love

Why can’t you see
it isn’t me
you need?

Nor is it only
me
who wants you

dead

[Caridad Svich: "Iphigenia Crash Land Falls on the Neon Shell That Was Once Her Heart" (2004)]
