Eye of Demeter
Last night the moon rose electric in the sky
Fingernail sliver of warm yellow streetlight
Almost swallowed by midnight earth and
Chocolate irises.
A shooting star traces the path of my heart
Between the tip of a wheat sheaf and
Orion’s belt. The great migration of lovers
Converges south
Wheeling past Saturn as it blinks
Into existence.

Your poetry has such a classic, timeless feel to it. It’s like stepping into another realm and breathing the lavender-scented air of fantasy. Truly amazing stuff, Layla 🙂
