Moon

A luminous
organic moon
rises high-
flashes its
mineral glow
a halo of orange
light dissolves
into gold

aglow, a blue
rim forms, like
a frozen pond-
magical for the
moment before
it dissolves,

the incandescent
purple-blue shine,
like the presence
of undesired bruises
tainting skin.

Hi Beeme,

you have really described the moon so beautifully
in this poem. I love the colours, as Tina said so
magical.

Thanks for the read.

Jenny.
