Men, you’ve craved the earth too long, let the moon be pure as a child, let her light cream the clouds, let her pour milk on ponds, lakes and streams, let her first quarter comma punctuate each paragraph of stars let her flare white fireworks through winter’s scaffold of bare branches, twinkle amidst spring’s first lace-leaf embroidery when she’s extinguished by a cloud, let wind applaud loudly for an encore though old earth is fraying at the edges, let moon remain a maiden untouched by man --- waxing and waning--- mistress of the tides draping the sea in bridal white designer of the night |

A freaking excellent poem - so excellent that I have to suggest "bridal draperies of the night" as a possible alternative. At no extra charge, of course. And the sentiment is not only good but needed, considering how some hucksters have lately been "selling real estate on the Moon" - ugh. |
