Elektra in Mycenae

After Iphigenia dies it’s a lot of where’s Iphi? A lot of where’s Dad? A lot of crawling into your mother’s bed A lot of Mom, I need you right now A lot of nothing at all A lot of clutching your brother’s small hand at the grocery store three green twenties and two eight-year-olds walk into a cereal aisle A lot of dreams hordes of deer the war on cable blaring through the house A lot of When Iphigenia was your age… A lot of I’ll do it myself When your father comes home from the war (and he will) you will leap into his soldier arms and he will tell you how much he loves you because you are his smartest, alivest daughter and even if he did kill you it would be for the love of the gods who talk to you when you’re asleep and you’d be happy to let him spill your blood for something that important especially if you got to look up at him while he did it At night you stare at the sizzling television and watch men kill each other to see his face for a half second.
