a night we ran down
the steep dark path into pool
of midnight moonlight

haiku
tall as a silver
birch ;
just as luminous ; i
forgot who i was
.
haiku
am i wolf that waits
hungry hot lonely moans if
only if only

haiku
ella fell from stars
straight into your arms
knowing
you were there
are here

haiku

from the stars to the moon and back, my little loves, no limit to love, from above and below, anywhere you may go, so that you always know
broken moon hung on
lake skin moody cloud rubbed in
fails to smooth old wounds

there’s no comparison
my ex had one the size of a hard haribo sweet
tinysweet and beat
with regularity
proclaiming basic humanity without musicality
normality — or so I thought
.
you can get used to smallness
or meanness
you can get perplexed by it
and yet
when we met
i couldn’t see the trees for it
obscured by my habitual vision
i
thought they were all small
but like the moon it was just a question of perspective
and proximity
we
got close
closer still, my love
my love had one the size of a planet
a heart — so huge as to eclipse all others
no one could see it
so huge was it
it blocked out the perfect though magnificent
it had craters and lakes
on a landscape formed by energy synergy
unheard of
unimagined
no one could see the size of it
except
kaleidoscopically
retrospectively
it couldn’t be trusted
to last
light years of liquid and dust
filled it
even from this distance i felt it
beat
unorderlily complexilily godliliy
silly really
as finalily
it super-love-
nova-ed
from his chest
in a burst
that hurt my eyes
killing him
while creating stars
for my eyes
my entire universe
expires

NaPoWriMo day 11:-
write a poem about a very large thing. It could be a mountain or a blue whale or a skyscraper or a planet or the various contenders for the honor of being the Biggest Ball of Twine. Whatever giant thing you choose, I hope this chance to versify in praise of the huge gets your poetic engines humming.

she moonlight-calls her to me and me to her
her fingers of soft-rough fur, here is utter dark
brings something of a growl ( not a purr ), ignites the spark
in a flash of lightning , a white thing, the shape of air
unutterable darkness shields a priestess
sexy as a mystery, saturates the senses
.
do you hate me for the wildness
of my perfect pelt, the language of my brazen throat
you cannot understand, you cannot capture, don’t fret, don’t rest
the stricken faces of the night felt, the quickening of my breast
.
do you prefer me as a acquiescent sheep
do you curse this form that disturbs your sleep
does the lightness of my lope, the meatiness of my breath
cause the whispers of the hair rise from your neck
.
i check the mirror, front and back
lick the maws of my primal authentic voice
that calls my majestic spirit to rejoice
for i am rank-stink-inked
kicked alive again to bless
awaken this mess of flesh
i am bone and fang
i am woman and pack
i am wolf i am wolf i am wolf-woman-whispers
i am the madonna, the giver of moonlit rivers
i am grit- dirt-bearer of younger gifts
blood-howl of shape-changer, the angel-author
of older myths than now exist
do you know me now
do you fear my howl
for i am love , raw, pure, love
slipped from darkness’ glove

NaPoWriMo day 8:-Today’s prompt comes to us from this list of “all-time favourite writing prompts.” It asks you to name your alter-ego, and then describe him/her in detail. Then write in your alter-ego’s voice. Maybe your alter-ego is a streetwise detective, or a superhero, or a very small goldfinch.
over full moon’s arc
we wrote our love songs
that end
in goodbyes,
honey

O
haiku
moon-cold nights begin
autumn frost bright on skin
candles quiver-hum
