Another Damned Moon Poem

i am double rainbows. 

i am the streaks of silver in the old man's hair, i am spiny and bug-eyed.

i am the rainbow around the moon on misty nights. i am cactus eyes with a center of molten gold, i am almond crafted ones that pierce. 

i am the smell after it rains. i am the earthworm on the sidewalk, i am the snail on the tall blade of grass, i am the 
storm and the sky's tears. 

i am the tablespoon of honey you take when you're ill. i am the spiderweb in the corner of your bedroom, i am the 
comfort after the chaos of my sickness. 

i am silver studded, i am the glowing omniscience of the moon's rays.

i am frightening. 

i am the teeth and i am the blood and i am the bone,
i am the jaws that rip through soft skin

i am sharp teeth gnashing at any sign of emotion 

and i will never take what i dish out for
my word is law.

a strange man comes with 
stranger impulses after all;

i just hope you think i am beautiful.
