The Curve of Rhonda's Moon
When night unfolds its fabric
Darkened like the dress you wore,
I slip into indigo memories,
Twilight tripping into tastes
Of silver seedless moonbeam rinds.
Inside that waxen rocker of your moon,
I cruise in stardust blossoms
Like a sled in snow
Showering the lunar night with diamonds.
Hiding in the healing place
Full within your garment,
The comfort things return.
Deep sleeps and endless peace;
The movement of your hands.
The music of your petticoat
Climbing scales of cobalt
Caressed in the midnight fabric
In the curve of Rhonda's moon.
