The Fatal Moon

The lithe traipse of night wind tingles in my ear with faint secrets chiming through jacarandas and June's lavender-strewn grass. I stand before the fatal moon, his ivory blood trail lilting on the lake. We'll both be gone by morning, he to his desolate canyons and I to my lonely bed where I'll awaken to summer's lambent birth.
