torrin a. greathouse, in an excerpt from Medusa with the Head of Perseus, featured in Wound from the Mouth of a Wound[Text ID: My mother says her first crime was beauty, that my father’s was how he imagined himself a god. Call me bloodcurse, fair hair shriveled and sprouting teeth, stain across the temple floor. Do not make me tell this story without a forked tongue. Before me there was a mother and a god—I mean a man—and a choice. Imagine, her body a home. Call my father burglar, my birth a breaking and entering. At least this crime gives a name to the shatter. Invents a reason for the curse birthed into this body.] -- source link
