Artemis To Aphrodite

In a drop of cool dew
on a grassblade
I find the entire green
world

I run through it
I love to be naked
and hunt with my friends
did you ever watch

just at sunset
a mighty stag
with an arrow in his heart
drop to his knees and die

sister you have not lived
until you have gutted a deer
and thrown its guts
to the dogs
