Artemis

Artemis lost her chastity belt
and I went to look for it
and found a talking tree
who told me,
"terrible is the love of a god."

A jealous woman
made me repeat everything
but you still couldn't understand
so you just loved inwards
and pined away.

Artemis broke her bow
so I went to get her another
the giant still lusted
after little girls
but I escaped with a piece of hair.

A proud human
was too foolish
and ended up a spider
now she spins
in every corner.

Artemis dropped a moon beam
and I went to retrieve it
it landed on a rock
chained to a main
whose liver was eaten by generosity.

A mother was sad
her heart made the earth cold
but because of a golden bolt
and a few measly seeds
it freezes every year.

Artemis scattered her hounds
and I went to gather them
but they chased a deer
who was once a man
change by curiosity.

An olive tree sprouted
standing against the mightiest wave
saving a town
from many years
of lost daughters.

Artemis now
has her belt
and her bow
and her beam
and her hounds
and I have my poem.
