Datura Moon

I have chosen to hide away when night has come without delay with moonrise I'm toxic to those who know me with no misgivings to finality apathetic moonstone Shiva worships my offerings Chumash use me for sufferings sacrificial moondust The Shamans of harvest and rain are the keepers of old soul's pain like moonbeams I am hidden in the open where the night from day has broken I am moonflower May 11, 2020 Compounding the Verse Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May
