"rune"


from the ABC set ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙chaikhana amidst lit lanterns

this night of full moon,
a girl whispered a rune
into the fullness of night.

the shadowed words glid
from her whispering mouth
and hung as a feather on air.

they danced in seduction,
black and blue manipulation
as beauty moved into the rune.

the sky shivered its fate,
faded `n` folded to create
and then burst into lights of the moon.

there is much to be said
about the silent instead
with their intrigue and masculine leash.
