Full Seed Moon

[Kima]

a full seed moon
hangs in the night like an over-ripe fruit
its mushy white pulp clogging the darkness
then the orb climbs towards levity

.inertia seems to be the lot of earthlings.

they say
it's the closest the moon has been to the earth in twenty years
twenty years
what that means to me
i contrast with other time scales
this goddess of the stone age
is as old as minerals
in its crystal luminescence
though
younger than the earth itself

what does that mean to us who
ashes to
ashes dust to
dust will soon
inhabit liminal space make
home in the thin crust of soil that
covers our rocky planet neither
air nor water but
rock is what we know we are and
what we believe will remain of us

i wonder what would befall me
if i too could lift myself white across the sky

[Kima]

I have to say I'm really quite proud of this one
