Heroin Or Heroine? Poem by Michael Burch

Heroin or Heroine?
by Michael R. Burch

(for mothers battling addiction)

serve the Addiction;
worship the Beast;
feed the foul Pythons
your flesh, their fair feast...

or rise up, resist
the huge many-headed hydra;
for the sake of your Loved Ones
decapitate medusa.
