Libation

soon
close
almost

a month
her cycle
repeats itself

not in birth
but rebirth
wax and wane

the full moon
takes out
a red tide

June is 
the strawberry moon
and the honey moon

Salute
drink mead
for honey sweet

and red
wine for
the blood

Now when I see the June moon, I will think of strawberries and honey, this is so romantic, Jeff.
