Artemis

*A girl runs in the woods

Deep and dark and daring,

Black is the velvet night

Bleeding are her bare feet

Pounding is her heart;

A girl runs under the sickle moon

Both are pure and white and chaste

Glowing with innate pride,

One bearing down on prey

The other bearing in the tide;

A girl is ancient goddess

Her silver arrows sure of aim

Utterly self-contained,

At the pink dawn of the day

She sighs and fades away.*
