I shiver under her power
and am numb.
Numb and insatiable.
As shifting tides,
yield to a Super Moon
bathing unabashed
in a hammerhead bay in the Pacific.
Sister Moon placid,
as she slices through indifferent curtains.
Until I witness her spirit again here in the Northeast.
As she straddles
cool peaks and crags
and I find myself drawn
to her again.
As I howl at her blood-red outline
gulp down the afterglow above.
