Night Light

That cameo was my secret grief. 
He will make you sing, 
the hooded moon. 

Not a sacred thing 
Kissing the toes of a traveller 
for fecundity. 

In doorway it was between 
us and them for bargaining 
for Dahlias. 

Lips unkissed will call for 
honey from bees. 
Eyes will srarch for a candle. 

In alien land of flames 
and tumultuous desires, 
the golden breasts will take revenge.
