Under Moon Flowers
Moonrose Doherty
Under these moon flowers I let you go
I tasted you
Savored you on my tongue
Felt your warm hug
—when you used to pull me to your chest
When you used to laugh to the sky with me. When you used to...
A nest of cedar roots
A dragonfly loving me
A pinkish-orangish sky
Dusk held us gently
When you saw me
When the cracks let light shine through
When we weren’t exhausted yet
When sunset shades held magic
When we smiled across a pit of ashes
A place where our arms intertwined like a spruce and a hemlock
growing together
Where lightening ran through us
