UNDER THE BLOOD MOON

Since April 4 will see both a lunar eclipse and a blood moon, I thought it was an appropriate time to post a poem I wrote titled UNDER A BLOOD MOON that was published in Loves Chance magazine.


                                                            UNDER A BLOOD MOON

We kissed
under the light of the blood moon

The cold and docile orb
distorted and bloated
like a distended organ

its face burnished, as if
in the grip of a feverish seizure,
swollen with passion

unblinking and unapologetic
in its lunar elegance,
almost begging us to touch it

Instead we kissed again,
daring our love to flourish
under the light of the blood moon
