I cannot allow you to leave my domain, Odysseus
I am trapped here by depression, by loneliness
And so I shall trap you here, here on the island
My island called Ogygia

You may scream, you may cry
You can try to fight it, try to fight me
But by Zeus, by Athena, by my father Atlas
I will never let you leave

I am Calypso, a nymph
We have slept together, Odysseus
I have bore you children
Latinus, Nausithous, Nausinous

Oh, your wife will be angry with you, Odysseus
Should I tell her of our time together?
What about our children?
I cannot let you leave, for your sake

Hermes can tell me that it is not fate for you
To stay here with me forever
But fate is like cloth
It can be shaped by others and cannot be told
It is one thing or another thing. It is malleable
