"Extractant.She loved her body too much. She'd used every conceivable objectshe could think of.Extracts.She seemed to have reams and reams of fluid yet left in her. It wasso good to shed it at last.Extraction.She was exhausted, beaten, but happy and delighted. She'd never,in her entire life, imagined that anyone could feel as fucked as shefelt."

New Earth = Waterhena poem composed by W. J. ManaresEarth, oh Earth, once overshadowed, now yearns for a cosmic dance,For Waterhen, a new beginning, a chance for life's advancement.Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Waterhen shines divine,A paradise brimming with enchantment, where destiny intertwines.Where Earth gasped in pollution and strife, Waterhen breathes fresh air,A sanctuary rich in flora, where water, pure and fair.Untouched by the greed of ignorance, Waterhen's bounty flows,Nourishing souls and mending wounds, basking in nature's repose.An Eden reborn, where Earth's mistakes find redemption,Waterhen, a crucial turning point, an invitation to comprehension.For Waterhen, the new Earth, holds the key to our shared fate,A future of unity and wonder, where no boundaries dictate.Awaken, oh Earth, to the call of your celestial twin,Let us heed Waterhen's silent plea, the message from within.For in unity lies our strength, to forge a future sublime,One for the new Earth - it's Waterhen's time!Let us journey to Waterhen, let our spirit soar and roam,Embracing a cosmic revolution, finding solace in our celestial home.For Earth, is now insignificant and yearns to pursue,The essence of Waterhen's legacy, an existence anew

"Goddess Diana, often referred to as the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis, is a majestic and powerful deity. She is a symbol of independence, female empowerment, and the untamed forces of nature. Diana is revered for her connection to the lunar cycle, as she is believed to govern the moon's movements and influences.It is this close connection to nature and the moon that has inspired me to offer poems in honor of Goddess Diana. Poetry has long been a medium through which we can express our deepest feelings and emotions, and by writing and sharing poems dedicated to Diana, I hope to pay homage to her divine essence and bring awareness to her significance in the modern world.
