Tonight’s moon,
its catchy grin
open mouthed and charming
Light slashes her legs.
She is halved,
but no cathedrals,
just bare skin
and sweat’s bloody tickle
and then, through the open window
the tingling seep
of washerwomen
their bright hands
cooler than coins
on forehead, hip and thigh.
I will call you,
grins the moon
blowing kisses
shaped like pineapples
and she sinks
warmly
into yellow.
Beautiful imagery, worms. The “pineapple kisses” being a favorite of course, but the entire piece has such magical lunar/yonic energy. A piece to remember. I’ve bookmarked it.
Oh thank you. I am so glad you liked it. I wrote it on my phone when I was on the cusp of sleep. When I looked at it this morning, I still liked it and hardly changed it at all.
I am glad you found something to like. I wrote it when I was already nearly asleep. It’s really just about lying in the moonlight and the temperature vagaries of chemo-induced menopause. LOL. But it’s mixed up with a few other things going on in my head too.

This is so surreal, I don’t understand it, but the imagery is so beautiful that I just don’t care.

No, it’s lovely. Seriously. We don’t always need to understand something to love it to bits. Take Mrs H. for instance! 😂

Quite beautiful in a warm glowing way. My bright yellow crocuses opened today, which put a spring in my step.
