THE FULL SUMMER MOON

Sprawled on the silken blue velvet night sky

Cool pale lactating the moon

Gazes through cypress trees’ shadowy blinds

Lidless eye prowling above me.



Maybe Endymion saw the same shape

Hovering outside the cave

Mouth where he lay in the senna and aster

Naked to breezes massaging his



Damp skin and muscles exhausted from labor.

Hypnotized by the curved white

Melody silent in second-hand pomp

Dripping in dew on the leaves,



Cradled he lay in the white blanket sleeping

Numb to the kisses that spun

Dreamless web fantasies summer night endless

Falling about him in moonshine.
