Luna

I went to the river and I lay by his side

to feel how you tugged on each of our tides

Usually one thinks of oceans and seas

but you pull on all humours even those of creatures and trees

Our saps quicken and our breasts become full

so irresistible is your enchanting pull

The river ran quiet and deep down it was dark

though your reflection gave his ripples a spark

Your light became brighter as you climbed the sky

and I breathed you in then stood with a sigh

I stretched up my arms to bathe in your glow

and you lit my path as I turned to go

Back in my room alone in my bed

at peace while visions of you swam in my head

“I’ll see you in my dreams Lovely Luna” I spoke from my heart

and we drifted off together though ever apart

I woke before 4a.m. and tried to sink back into sweet sweet sleep but I felt lonely and untouched so eventually I gave up. Feeling a tidal pull I went outside to commune with the brilliant waxing Beaver moon.

Luna felt my longing and let me know that she empathized easily with my situation because she too is old and alone and untouched by human flesh even though she waxes every month.

“Aha, so the conspiracy theorist are correct!” I thought but she replied “No, I have had visitors in the past but those space suits do not allow for physical intimacy.”

I felt that

I was feeling better about my own situations and thanked her as usual for her lunar inspirations and I lifted my face another moment to bathe in her light.

As I turned to prepare for my day I felt her say “Don’t worry my darling this is but a phase.”

I smiled at her phase turn of phrase. If anyone should know about that it is she.
