Reef
The moon,
Just past full,
Calls down to the coral.
Lunar ballad pierces
Sea’s briny top soil.
Amorous chords
Penetrate past clown fish
Past pygmy sea-horses
Past the anemone’s crown of thorns
Into the stony castle’s womb
Igniting a blizzard torrent of gametes,
Kaleidoscopic confetti
Hurtles toward the surface
Reaching. touching, meeting
Achieving consummation
In the undulating reflection of
The moon.
