Starpoet by Lisa Jain Thompson
Newsflash:
Poem attributed to Sappho
in the short story "Blooded"
 
 
The crystal waters of the Aegean Sea,
Warmed by the afternoon sun,
Washed over the poet woman
Who waited for love to seize her.
Beneath the moon’s full risen gaze
She found instead a warrior’s presence
Filled her world with pleasure.
