You come to me, oh unfulfilled moon

 you come to me    
late at night
on the moon set
country woman
child of the weeds
familiar old man
in the mirror
under the firefly of memories.

look up
close to the torch
at the temple of expectations.

Be Holy Woman
rainbow of desires.

Be the child
sitting on the edge of the well.

Be the forgetful old man
to futile thoughts.

Be the wick
who lights the fire of being oneself.

Be the pillow of a thousand grains of rice
welcoming what comes
in wise joy
a pinch of salt
on the lips
arms outstretched in embrace
flickering light
of the day to come.

Be eternal moon.
