no,
you are not athena.
you were not born
gracefully
from the head of
your shared father.
you came out
bloody
from between the legs
of your outcast mother,
from that moment
burdened
with the responsibility
to bring forth your
brother.
you do not belong in
olympus,
like their darling on her
silver throne.
apollo is their golden boy,
in his golden chariot.
you belong to the
forests, to the wild
beasts you will never
tame.
you are not athena.
you never will be.
you had to
claw
your way up to olympus.
you are artemis,
wild girl with the
wild hair, and the blood of
your prey on the soles
of your bare feet.
no.
you are not athena.
but you make every
head in olympus
turn your
way.

FIREHEART
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING STYLISH IN BEING UTTERLY WICKED
YOU WERE COLD, AS THE BLOOD THROUGH YOUR BONES
SO GIVE ME HOPE IN THE DARKNESS
FOR ALL MY SWEAT, MY BLOOD RUNS WEAK
MY HEART IS GOLD AND MY HANDS ARE COLD
THROW ME TO THE WOLVES AND I WILL RETURN LEADING THE PACK
DRIPPING LIKE A SATURATED SUNRISE.
