anthem

[cacian]

and then the moon
perfectly formed
against a canvas
of deep blue prune
round to a bloom
sound
the reason it
it is see through
to a level of new view
is because dark
ices and light
rises
and the spectrum
is an image
sanctum
a show of anthem
any life would
want them.

[PeterL]

As the seas that She affects, the Moon runs
Through Her monthly cycle. The cycle She meters
For women and men. Growing and shrinking
Like my desire and my interest both
In you and in all women I encount’r.

As the Moon grows larger and brighter, so
Do I become warmer, until I burn
When the Moon is Full; I would share that heat.
If there is one with coolness to quench me,
And if not, we can try. End with howl to Moon.
