The Furies

Ages ago blood droplets paved the way - 
For heads wreathing with serpents, 
Eyes dripping with blood, 
Wings of a bat, body of a dog. 
Borne out of the anger of the dead, 
To avenge false oaths; 
The angry ones, the gracious ones, 
Sometimes one, sometimes numerous - 
The deities of vengeance, 
Arising from a self-curse!
