afterglow

my moon
white eye wakens
casting glow on
white-blue shape through
branches
sleeping

moon fang
leaves scar in sky
bleeds white
on me stains
black blue-grey

winter washes
down white fuzz
over elven ears

moon nipple
in blue sky breast
triangle wisps inside thighs

damp earth smell
cloys
wind washes
subtle breeze
breathes silent
sleeps

moon wanes
waxes chest
breast rises
falls

face splits
twin beacons candles moons
crinkled edges
frightened pale
aqua skies
cradle
blackened suns

light melts
stains face
drowns candles
moons eclipsed in lids

beacons’ glare
leaves sight
stained white
I linger long

spit strands
weave web
moon-taught

I labor long

tree-top
entrenched
forsaken fortress
in bough await
return
of glow
