Orpheus and Ariadne II
https://poems.culturing.net/2026/09/15/orpheus-and-ariadne-ii/
Orpheus says "You are beautiful."
She smiles, demurely, "I know."
"Has another told you so?"
"One who knew how to tame beasts."
He circles and sits in amazement,
but she does not stir. They lock eyes,
and the stars align.
