The moon discards
her customary white attire.
Tonight she wears a lemon
yellow.
"You look beautiful!"
I tell her.
"Oh you...poets!"
she smiles to herself.
See the tiny house
asleep
in the big valley.
Even the river dreams.
Sleepwalking to a sea.
Voles and moles and owls
and howls.
An old dog remembering
its wolf ancestry.
One would not be surprised
at encountering fairy or elf.
"Ahhhh Mr. Puck
is it your self!"
We pass by Mr. P's
expletive deleted.
But is not this world
this borrowed night
made for lovers
such as us
our kisses tasting
of fright and delight.
Our scared and sacred voices
stretching back through the ages
a river of lovers
flowing through time.
"Shhhh shush now
close your eyes!"
Only this kiss exists
to tell us
who we are.
