Lonna Blodgett Poet Verse

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
