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..
