Once Upon a Tryst
I am crowned and adorned with roses, hawthorn, and hemlock braided within my long, red curls.
I can smell the sweet oils that had been rubbed into my skin massaging my own tattoos, newly healed. As I look up at his torque, I can see my violet eyes reflected, glowing in the night of the cave. Tonight I am not a mortal, but the goddess herself, and he is her consort, the Green man, the Stag, the god of all things masculine and virile. I cannot see his face, but I can feel the warmth radiating from his skin as he approaches me, spreading my legs to better see my offering.
