The moon...

0 posted 2003-05-14 10:41 PM



A story that begins with the anguish of a crescent moon
I can’t say if I am dreaming or living
it doesn’t matter the night neither the shadows
the sky unlocked his beauty
like silent flowers awaking in spring.
and down,
lies a little city
covered by a white and hard sieve,
the snow has clung courageously to earth.
The thaw hints without war nor glory
the night opens its mouth
drawing my being,
our bodies get close through the window
and I scroll it to uncover
letting its arms take my wholeness
only silence whispers with consent
this night I have found a new secret
and I turn back my face at the glimmer
to the auric halo that embraces the moon
leaning above the dried branches of a tree.
The moon breathes me,
my breath emerges as steam,
the night is limned into my eyes slowly
struggling shadows have surrendered
and once again,
the sky is naked
his skin is my skin
under my sheets.

The moon
is into my eyes.
Love,
Etain.
