Lunacy of Light

Scream a blaze in passing fashion
tear the velveteen tapestry
of Luna’s anthracite passion
rake nails of rainbow majesty
on the depth of night’s travesty
reveal, revel, shine in the dark 
leave lingering trace of lunacy
for night, oh night, has not the lark.

Oie, this could be about Smokey, Debbie, but I think not!!:) A surge of "lunacy", prompted by the light of the moon? I truly do think that there can be a tug and pull during the full faced phase of the moon. I'm not sure about werewolves and vampires though. What's "Hutain" mean? Now I will leave this poem with the feeling of 'shoulda known'. Take care, be well, and stay fit enough to Kayak! Love, Mikki
