/// Chaste Diana the Huntress— she spies
in the distance her twin in disguise.
“Could that wolf which I follow
be my brother Apollo?
Hard to tell with the sun in my eyes.”
/// She is goddess of hunting and night,
childbirth, chastity and the moon’s light.
In men’s worship she basks
because she multitasks.
So does he, so they frequently fight.
/// Leto’s offspring are typically twin—
opposites, yet alike, (like most kin).
Crescent moon’s in her hair;
he controls sunlight’s flare.
They compete, and yet neither can win.
