Moon bathed land,
Silver-kissed, luna sea:
Wolf moon, hunting moon -
Satellite no more, but
Heart of the wild,
Expressed in fur emerging from human skin,
Ephemeral transformation electric . . .

what you have done,
gather the fruits of your labor
and prepare for winter's . . .

Dawn seems furthest
with the night
an open maw.
I wait for light

Hesitant journeywoman on this path?

Bare and acrid with nothing to love?
