Benediction to the moon

Exhale,

Slowly and complete

Until you strain against the empty

Lay abandon against my chest

Awhile

And feel

The speeding beating drumming of my heart

How all my rivers quicken

I was made for this

For you, I know

No vow need be though

I would give it if you asked

Though it plays along the sinews of me ever

If you prick me, I shall bleed

Or kiss me, burn

In falling catch or triumph laugh

These are me as surely as my eyes

By open see

So be

Please, and know

There is no thorn or line in you

I will not bless, caress

Only speak it against my lips

Feel the tides beneath my breast
