cora hermes - midnight
artemis
would you make an exception?
for a man
raised woman, too soft
for the world of men
artemis
would you allow me to run
with your hunters,
my only love
sworn to the moon?
artemis
would you accept a son of hades?
with one foot perpetually
on his way
out this world
olympic twins
i fall between
you, protector of the boy
child and goddess of the maiden
would you deny me both?
apollo
would you teach the sun
to hide me━as the moon
has or is this illumination
part of the becoming?
apollo
would you divine for me
a future
where i am no longer liminal?
a future where i am
sure.
