Candles burning
through the night
red wine, the
deeper burgundy
velvet shadow of
your hands

you falling

the orange
Jack
O' Lantern moon-
suspended in the
smoke filled
summer
sky

I'll watch your bottomless eyes
fill with me-

me, falling.

through the end, the passage of dark, radical
mysterious need and
desire

Where the moon can watch us until the stars
swim away, choose to stay,
play trapeze in the sky
or lose their blaze

Darling I need you to
demand me like
the moon, openhandedly,
devotes
to the sea.
