Impromptu

though hispanic
in language her
skin is the color
of the black beach
of Thira where
many a time i
saw the full moon
rise and cast
a mirrored image
upon calm seas

as now as from
the last twenty
nine and a half
days have passed
she has begun her
lunastration once
again so as she
will until no longer
see her red tide being 
pulled by the moon

following laws
ingrained in 
women wearing 
a pokeweed
stained stretched 
canvas cloth 
soon to 
let nature 
paint by 
drops
