The moon, gaudy and conspicuous,
gloating over her secrets
secretly spying on
midnight lovers,
giggling and naive.
Smiling her sordid sneer
waiting
with the mouth
of Alexander the Great
to consume the incautious couple.
who, believing themselves alone,
play, unabashed in their
tender, young, culpable love
while Artemis makes herself
common and cheap.

oooh! i love it! i especially love the way you take the ancient myths [which are so, so overplayed and overwrought] and made them cheap. you should do that even more in the artemis part. i mean, really go to town with it [artemis puts on some bright pink revlon, slinks into polyester nylons, goes home with any old foam-gulping prick? you know, or something]. i love the gaudy moon! and also, i love you.
