Lady of the Dark Moon
by Zara Bosman
Hecate, the Lady of The Dark Moon
Goddess of the Crossways
Ghostly places where the barrier between worlds is thin
And shadows lurk on the threshold
Flanked by the black she-dog transformed from the Trojan Queen Hekabe
Who leapt into the sea after the fall of her city
The shadow self of Artemis
Daughter of Titans
The lady of wild things
Lover of the woods
And the untamed chase of the mountain’s breath
The sacred cypress, silver arrows and swift death
