Artemis Falls


                                                               

                                                                         Y
                                                                          o ur
                                                                          hands
                                                                          tingle my
Your arrow across the purple moon glow night  --beach haloed
streaks and sparks, metallic explosion reminds  --an omens delight
us the same flavour of blood on our tongue --bursting, waning, waxing
stain of mortalic after taste, singed with sardonic empathy --ashore releasing.

                                                         of Truth traces out

on sundials freeing the breeze to say---dark and unknown places
by the way You don’t belong but it was--leading to strange faces taunt
not You or I but the hunted who fear--races behind restrained by leashes-CUT

Free to fly.
