Moon Woman Who

Tonight in her the man in the moon is young — 
He pulls her skin like a dog's white fang biting,
A chain above in her throat like a lump hung,
She's an apparition under his body — 
All his crater's virtuoso in her struck.
The dreams still go on with so little lighting,
Another prison his peripheral view —
It's woman glimpsed in, by the man in the moon.

Your lines brim with a fresh, radiant force that captivates the heart, dear Paige. It bears a weight both grand and intimate, as though the moon stands not merely as a sign, but as a silent observer of our toil, our longing, and our bounds.

Would I survive inside your head, or run for light? I'm teasing you, but I am always impressed with the directions your pen goes. You are an individuated individual, unique in your creativity and this poem is another example of that. Like Daniel, I find the haunting, fierce -well, I can't say unforgettable because of my brain issues, but if it worked right, yes, unforgettable. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Dear Paige, how haunting, fierce, and unforgettable. You’ve poured such raw, luminous power into those lines. It feels both mythic and deeply human, as if you’ve captured the moon not just as a symbol but as a witness to struggle, desire, and confinement. I read it twice and it still lingers. What a striking piece you’ve carved light out of darkness here. Blessings, Dear Paige, Daniel
