Was the seven wondered sphinx
Wondered I, the one with a head
Of a man, or the wings of the eagle
And the breasts of the woman?
Was it the father of terror who
Was honoured, or the beast-heads?
The woman was left to torment
Travellers with sexist riddles
And die, throwing herself not to fly
Onto the rocks, or devour herself,
A metaphor horrible real.
