In Diomed's arms, I am safe
and my father is safe
and Troy, whose most fortunate daughter
here cowers in the enemy tent,
sleeps in this bosom
and this womb,
safe. Better I take his arms
and draw them to between my legs
across my cunt up my gut
around my breasts to wrap around
my shoulders like a wall
than be seized
by his passions
like he seized
the Palladium. Better my father
see a smile
than bruises
on his beloved daughter's face.
Better I choose to love
and, in choosing, live
than keep my faith in a war
whose end is all determined.
