Poem 45

 

The morning breaks me open.

I’ve been waiting all night long

to walk barefoot by the lake,

dew on silver-painted toenails

dragging through the seagrass

where bullfrogs begged at dusk.

 

This place is holy all the time,

but I feel it most in morning,

at moonset when the Feminine

has just recharged the sky,

her silver fully spent

before the revelry of dawn.

 

I think the sun is Glory,

the moon Grace.

Fastened together with knots

of irrevocable vows,

sealed by unexpected Mercy
