The Moon Is Everything Tonight


The moon
is everything
tonight    not the
lamp shining
on the page
not the TV's blue glare.
The moon
white lady
rides the night
like a woman
astride a black stallion.
She peers at herself
in the pond
and the bullfrogs flood
her light with thrum
and twang.
We stand
under the dark sky--
her brilliance floods
our vision  seeps into
our blood.  Her silver
flows through our bones
and our tongues taste
swelling tide.
