Have we tides in our mind? Will a
Full moon foment peaks of frenzy or
Half moon stir wandering spirits?
The cycle of phases affect us:
Moods eroded and erected by weather
Warm or Cold currents affect airmasses
as Luna sloshes the seas
As steady tug
of cold companion
lightly rides our mind
Early moonrise colors drip
and sharp-carved edge etches
circularity onto synapses
Fickle procession of companions
(tonight, love goddess
next week, bloody warrior)
as shape-shifting phases
incite superstition
Cold lunar shine chills
or comforts in turn
I find time to search the craters,
and wonder at the time they took
