fire rages always

As if you were on fire from within.

The moon lives in the lining of your skin."
— Pablo Neruda


fire rages always
within those hearts whose words rise
alongside our gold moon

we can take the girl
away from stars, moon, planets
still, they live within

how to process this
moon-held shining from inside
bring it out to dust

dare to dance inside
with only trust guiding love
undulant as moon

dreams of smiling friends
sharing green celery stalks,
under one huge sky

some of us do fly
over forest's brighter pond
then--  falling softly
