"Pisces Moonrise" by Netanel Miles-Yépez, 2018.
in the treasure box of
my darkness
love
waits
drunk
in
the anticipation
of
unbidden
light

the dripping light with no skin
turns into inlets of
hard fought
or is it won
tears
which course through
the sinews of my womanhood
in the womb a trickle of peace
in the breasts fountains of compassion
in the eyes pools of unseen beauty
each carrying the promise of summer
here the blossom of desire
transforms into the fruit of love
ripening to the point of surrender
caring not
whether i become
food for the lover
or
drop to the ground to rot
