Momentary Words

Momentary Words

The moon is a circle   The transformation looms
Gates appear in the mist

Fur grows and darkens    Passion increases
By space and wind are we kissed

She pulls me awake in a comfortable restlessness
The wind dons a sword dull and soft for now

Darkness chases with slow steady certainty
as our world hides from the sun

Look. Change is slow and gradual. Then Quick.
The smug and care-free child world is shrinking

She rises and falls and we with her
Circles big and little dance together
sometimes in phase and sometimes not

Earthlife is drowsy Green is lost to brown and dust
But somewhere far away the dust feeds the sproutlings

The moon is a circle but only for a moment
We are a circle too

Green for now but bound for dust and birth
