Ode to Artemis

Damp grass between our toes

Barefoot in the soft earth

We danced to the sound of the moon

 

You told me tales of wild women

Bound to an endless hunt

 

Pale skin in pillars of starlight

The candles flickered shadows against the wall of night

 

You showed me life

Without the sun

While we waded through forests painted silver

 

The galaxies are gone

So are you

 

Artemis

Girl of mist and moon

The dark looks different now.
