How vast and pervasive is the Moon?
Hugeness hints there stand two
Orbs and a turbulent stream
Simply like the dawning sun
All over the half-moon horizon.
On the shore of credulity
The froth shed detritus and sea salt
Carving a path into level sand
Slicing the weft out of silk
By cutting across the fabric kernel
The waves were sealed on the scanty shore
The furor was in harmony with the dust
Pearl-like seaweed and scrubber.
Moonlight over the Sea at Dawn
It is ideal and so spectacularly tempting
The churning water bred white foam
I am enthusiastic to have the plunge
The tendons, sinews, and guts were all wary
A season invests these twilight hours
Fetch the ache and gentleness
Misleading magnetism
My inner mermaid is hopeless
The moon was merely out of the embrace.
It related me to a no-blue world
Spume was kicked by white ponies
As they did in our fourth year of dreams
Cantering toward the welling of time
In the utter stiffness at the two ends
Do not feel dire about shedding tears
The spectrum of the dull light
We never noticed.

The Earth is wide,
but it's not the universe...
the universe is immense
but it's not the infinite...
Infinity is large,
but it's not bigger than
my dreams...
I dream of enormity,
but royal hugeness,
infinitely is God... !

Heading down a not-very-busy country highway on a summer day
I saw an upside down turtle in the road and I said “Hey!
Screeched on my brakes, to help the little fellow out of the way.
But he got bigger and bigger the closer I got that day.
I was a bit intimidated by his hugeness, but my children could see.
So I gave them a wave, and tried to turn that turtle on his legs, and free.
He twisted his head and tried to take a bite out of my fingers three.
I dropped him promptly, and did not feel a bit guilty.
I thought you were going to save him! My ten-year-old child said.
Did you kill him? The eight year old queried, “Is the Turtle dead?”
The three-year-old was suddenly interested. His name was Ned.
Let’s go see it! He chortled and cackled, ready to see something dead.
He was bigger than I thought, I told them but I will try again.
I flipped him over with a big stick; it was truly not thin.
That turtle was determined to die; he walked in front of my car.
“Don’t hit him!” Kids screamed, so I went around him, that turtle czar.

No more dieting women!
Clothes for adipose only, made for wearing
and swimming.
Watch the shopping channels, do they hire
by the most pounds?
Thin models must retire, adipose only?
And must be totally round?
I remember being twenty-one. American Airlines
considered me a blimp?
Come now, at 125 pounds, I really was a shrimp!
I still am 125 to this very day
It was not Chic to be adipose, like it is today.
I watch them stretching jeans on TV, they support
hugeness by words like "fully expandable" or....
"so comfortable!"
They think not of women's health at all.
I find it horrifically sad, it's only money they support.
My Dad joked about women's clothes fifty years ago.
The days when there were limited sizes.
Not x, xx, xxxx ad infinitum.
We women, tremble at the sight of a gun....Yet....,
Do forgot, by being overweight, we pull the finger and
end our own life's rigor.

By giving birth you've lost much loveliness,
but thou art lovelier now in fullness.

In this box
(that I hold tightly against my body, afraid it might slip away the next time I fall
six sides
so easy to examine
to carry
to show to anyone who will stop for just a moment
so simple; there are no secrets
nothing that cannot be explained)
we say is the being that spoke life— who
surrounds everything, is
infinitely bigger than anything that has ever claimed hugeness
than all things that have ever been (back to before the first man smiled at the first woman)
and will be (until time stops and we spin in the glow of an eternal smile)
than existence.
It is any wonder that
(as we come with our nice neat list of the contents of our sacred cube)
no one will listen to our proclamations of salvation?
After all, who was ever saved by something smaller than herself?
So small, it fits directing into our hearts
and goes no further.

The days creep by ever so slowly,
The nights are the worst,
Missing you so badly,
For your love, I do thirst.
Time will tell,
What the future brings,
Roses of pastel,
The birds do sing.
A song for us,
Is meant to be,
In it we witness,
How great to be free.
The world with all it’s hugeness,
No way can compare,
To the love in it’s greatness,
For you and I to share.
So patience is a virtue,
With love in the air,
We’ll walk a different avenue,
When our love we do share.
I want to be with you,
All the days and the nights,
You know this to be true,
You know it to be right.
The time is getting near,
For a love we do share,
This is perfectly clear,
No love can compare.
