Sappho's Reply

"my voice rings down through thousands of years

to coil around your body and give you strength,

you who have wept in direct sunlight,

who have hungered in invisible chains,

tremble to the cadence of my legacy:

an army of lovers shall not fail"

Do not fall in love with people like me.  I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.
