Afflatus

In the veins beneath

my skin, there are rivers

of uncertainty

flowing

fast through

abandoned streets

like a flash

flood.

You open my hand

to an empty sky

revealing scars where

stars used to be.

Suddenly

my fingers start to tremble, so

you hold me

a little tighter, whispering,

You are

untamable, unbreakable.

You see me

dancing in fire, and

swimming through

ice. I am

the goddess Artemis

and someday soon

I will carry the moon

across the sea.

As your knowing eyes meet

mine, I confess,

I’m not scared

to take your breath

away, I’m scared

to give it back.
