Words + Artwork by Henry Walters
Artemis would you care for us tonight?
Let tides wash away our sinful doings
Sins thrust upon us from the day we’re born
For we did not choose our lives nor our loves
Two heretics in this moonlit temple
Two priestesses lost here without a home
Eternal worship, our bodies our shrines
To stay with her until the end of all
Sweet Persephone, allow us time here
For I know not how I would fare alone
She is my rock, grounding when I fear death
Safe in the covers, resting on her chest
Sheltered in her arms, wind carries her breath
“Someone I tell you will remember us”.
