MARIA CALLAS
(1923-1977)

A marvelous Greek actress
and opera singer
Maria Callas
a voice heard
once in a century
whom we met on stage
before her Paris obituary
after her Medea performance
full of the presses rage
with tension and stress
in a beautiful white dress
overwhelmed by
the Onassis scandal
she apparently
was too embarrassed
she could not hardly handle.
