Ring The Moon 4Th Of July~ Froth of a ringed moon, hazy and undulating, like cats lapping cream we were all aglow in the belly, Excited.. these were metallic nights, silver etchings plume, and bloom across a dark crackle sky, tiny flecks of golden conversation, glorious gasps, birthing memories of luster held against the cheek for a rainy day. A whiff of sulfur as steamy Summer spoke to us, while we applauded the spectacle above. June-bugs in July, ponytail's, lips that taste of watermelon, I still love to watch the small yard flags salute in the wind, and I catch your eyes staring ten again, as old prayers chase bottle-rockets whistling to heaven.. ©Augustsky |
