Huntress's Haiku
April 18, 2015
I must be quick, dear
Fleeing from this space in heart
Legs will soon follow.
The fatal ballet
You and I dance on the cliffs
Up the mountain, steep.
Diana's own pull
Delivers death before you
Lay it on my lips.
Softening death 'fore
Dewy morning comes, and I
Chase another stag.

I was inspired to write this piece after reading the Aeneid, and seeing how Dido (the queen of Carthage) is likened to a wounded stag.
