Still Chang'e lives, a spinster mostly, on the moon, dances in silk.
Legend says she swallowed the entire immortality elixir
which she had fully intended to share with Yi
(whose do-gooding got them banished
from the highest court of heaven).
Perhaps she wanted a divorce or
maybe it was a fancy mistake.
Either way, notice how
companionless
she sways.
