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.
