Moonlit Night
Skin transformed to silver beneath the sweep of leaves,
Peach and nitrate in the moon glow and the shaven silhouette;
Filtered through the branches, latticed on her breast,
Polychromatic prisms corralled in pin-prick beads of sweat.
Summer heat and darkness enticed us ever closer,
Bathed in pallid moonbeams and stardust memories;
Laying down together, we as one upon the soil,
And the heavens smiled upon us as we dreamed beneath the trees...
