The hunter; part 2

This was their sympathy?

Placing me in the night sky for eternity?

~

Canis Major and Canis Minor my only companions.

Feelings akin to abandon.

~

Denied my Merope, not from above.

Blinded for my love.

~

Accused, Artemis for trying to rape her.

Hunters we were.

~

Apollo’s jealousy over Artemis’,

What a fuss?

~

Cannot live. Cannot die.

Forever racing across the night sky.

~

Those drops you feel on starry nights;

those are not mermaid tears. They are reminders of my plight.

~

Reminders that I was given back my sight.

To see that I’m forever stuck in this night.

~

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy …”

This is not a prophecy.

~

See me. See me in this form in the night sky.

I cannot live. I cannot die.
