Unwilling to stop reading my
child self sequestered a
small torch and
cocooned myself in sheets
long after bedtime
sucking in words and
oddly aroused by the
confusing smells of a
boy growing in
confinement.

In the black woods, under the
cloud-shuttered light of her
namesake Diana, her Mother
told her the secrets of being
chased yet chaste, of the
pleasures of the mouth, of
acquiring the taste for the
moon-coloured effluvia of a man, of the
unexpected utility as entrance of the
dark star between her buttocks, of
so many things that left her
shaking with the cold, embarrassment and the
first tremors of awakened lust.
Now, a Mother herself, she
looked back at the lit-up house where
her daughter and her latest boy were
supposed to be behaving, considered the
Pill she’d put her on, knew it was safer but
wondered if she had learnt more under the
protection of Myth, regretted the
degradation of the Heavens, knew
she had been more adventurous than her
well-protected daughter, heard again her
Mother’s voice, dead in the dark, echoless,
“It’s a Huntress Moon, not a Hunter’s”, under
her namesake Diana.
Though named for a rose she had
no desire to be one, watching the
girls at school primp and tweet,
display and slut, be
budded, bloomed and blown
before adulthood, so she
prayed she’d one day find a man who
knew more of a garden than just
dead-heading roses.
Sugar, spice, sultry, and nice...so very nice...

Still hot. (It just comes in flashes now.)
