One day
When I’m out of bed, bad blood and
Curses, maybe I’ll smile under the
Cool moon.
See her wrapped in a
Cloud mantle,
Reveal herself,
Then cover up again.
See her hang there, full,
Like a silver pendant.
A calm unwinking eye.
See her radiate and glow
The way women glow
Sometimes.
See her move slowly and
Silently across the sky
Like a huntress.
What else can I do but try
To please her with my pen,
Solitary, romantic old fool
That I am?
