A hungover moon
pins the pale sky
straining for voice
in the predawn opulence

where all that stays etched
is the sweat on the nightstand
where players collided
in lustful contortion

i am yours, you are mine
particles spun
both of sand and of sea

soldered as one
the wind lifts us through
where the earth has forgotten
us

for now we are strings
in God's greatest instrument

voiceless yet free

while the moon stays the night
with us.

What a great word/non-word/made-up word is soddered . . .

"in the opulence of apathy," is a great line, EmmaRose, and so befitting the mood of today.

To be soddered with another, someone to hang onto, someone who will go to bat for you as the world is literally falling apart from within, is a wonderful thing to have gained.

Excellent poetry!

This poem is very nice, indeed.. it has two aspects that I really enjoyed. I see the moon as a faceless voyeur, the apathy, but straining to feel what the two lovers do. What imagery!
