walking down the deer path
facing my own shame
who do i see bathing?
the eternal dame
can she see me coming
down the wooded road?
does she see me watching
her without her robe?
artemis is deadly
with her pack of hounds
will she kill me slowly
on her hunting grounds?
though i may turn to run
i choose to show myself
naked and unarmed
like everybody else
there was once
an angry man
who gave his life
to understand
love
i found another kingdom
with another name
and i met its ruler
the eternal dame
sovereign and able
huntress of the night
placer of the arrow
aiming true and right
find me now
alive at last
in diana’s
beating heart
am clasped
